elision - 'Covered Me'
Elision release their moody new single ‘Covered Me’.
‘Covered Me’ is about coming to the realization that, while in a relationship with a narcissist, you don’t really know the person you’re with. That person’s desire to be in the spotlight eclipses all else, even has you questioning yourself. Using fuzzy guitar and an infectious guitar beat - the track draws you in to see where it will take you next. Building up to what you think is going to be a big boost of energy but instead keeps you on the ground as it builds more layers to the song - capturing the full tone of the track.
Des Moines, Iowa indie rock/shoegaze/dream pop duo, Elison is Marissa Kephart, lead singer and guitarist, and Scott Yoshimura (The Envy Corps, Canby), producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist. The duo formed after Scott produced Marissa’s first-ever song, “Meet Me Halfway” in the summer of 2021. During that time they found they shared a love for much of the same late 90s and early 2000s indie rock bands. Sonically sweet, melodically vibrant, dreamy guitars, airy vocals and lush atmospheric sounds are highlighted throughout their previous releases.
