Lyrics:
“Diamonds”
garage door is open, smoke from cigarettes
billow toward the moon to the claps of castanets
a chorus of voices fill these junkyard walls
guitars and congas echo in the hall
lost all the feeling in our fingers
diamonds in frozen air linger
winter is upon us, now we're the singers in the band
warm below the ground, clapping our hands
“Second Born”
did you think that i was listenin’
as the forrest wind came whistlin’
a story someone shares
peels back removes the layers
tell of ghosts inside your home
speaking softly as you’ve grown
why her, why not me?
born second, luckily
leaves fall twirling from their vines
caught in pavement trapped in time
you feel just like them
breaking from their fragile stem
taking care of baby brother
both a sister and a mother
he has you to thank
stayed afloat while all else sank
young but, grown too fast
second born
nurtured from the past
like blooms from the ash

¶ Elk Attack has emerged as one of the most exciting sounds in the small but vibrant music scene of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In its initial stages Elk Attack was three members: lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Bo Elledge, lead guitarist Dusty Nichols, and violinist Gabby Kouchacji. Originally a vocal harmony oriented and acoustic trio, they sought a rhythm section to expand their sound. Drummer John Wayne Harris and bassist Adam Woolley stepped in to provide that indie-rock edge. Influenced by artists such as My Morning Jacket, Wilco, George Harrison, and Ryan Adams, Elk Attack began to craft their material: a unique blend of folk instrumentation, three part vocal harmony, and experimental rock. Since their debut performance the group has packed the bars and clubs in its surrounding area and raised the eyebrows of local talent seekers. Before too long they were asked to support a number of national touring acts, including G Love and Special Sauce, Robert Randloph and the Family Band, The Young Dubliners and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
¶ After self-producing a well received EP, Elk Attack sought the advantages of high-fidelity studio recording and production. Working with Brooklyn based producer Andrew Lappin and recorded at Hen House Studios in Idaho, Elk Attack will release its debut LP Second Born in September of 2012. The all original material on this album will pave the way for Elk Attack's first national tour in the fall of this year. Whether at home in Jackson or on tour, Elk Attack is constantly seeking venues who will accommodate their original music and burgeoning fan base.
