Elana Stone Takes a Left Turn With “Permanent Limbo”

I’ve heard Elana Stone creating jazz music, the folky ditties with her group All Our Exes Live in Texas, but I’ve never heard her quite like this. Her current single “Permanent Limbo” is pure electronic pop. And while it’s different, it’s actually pretty amazing. Is there anything this woman can’t do?

This is such a fun dancy number, but it came from a difficult place. Elana wrote the track as her long-distance relationship was breaking down during an All Our Exes Live in Texas tour. If these things have to happen, at least you can get a great song out of them, right?

“I am so excited about this release because it’s fun and danceable but it has its roots in a story of love and loss. It was cathartic to write and it will be cathartic to release and share during this moment of historic uncertainty. It is essentially a danceable electronic pop anthem to accompany the merging of humans and technology and potentially the end of life as we know it.,” Elana explained.

Live music is such a rare joy these days, so it’s exciting to see Elana has a few gigs coming up. Bookings are essential during the pandemic, so visit her Facebook page for all the details. Elana will play the following venues:

16 October 2020 – Venue 505, Sydney
4 November 2020 – Mary’s Underground, Circular Quay

See Ya 2014!

So here it is, my last post for 2014. Time for me to grab a glass of champers and get the party started away from my computer. But I felt it was fitting to leave you with a little something. So in case you missed it when it was on Triple J recently, here is the final Like a Version for the year, Bluejuice and a host of special guests (including Ngaiire, Elana Stone, the guys from The Griswolds, and Andy Bull) covering “End of the Road.” It’s amazing. Farewell 2014 and bring on 2015!
