[MYSPACE]
[PUREVOLUME]Elijah Wyman is a young artist living in the Boston area. His music is Lovable, acoustic, indie that could be played alongside of, but certainly not confused with, the likes of Pedro the Lion, Sufjan Stevens, and Adem. His songs flow smoothly from near comatose mellow to wide-awake clap-alongs. Elijah grew up in Southern California, the only son of a preacher and a dental hygienist. His adoration for music began as a boy when he uncovered a forgotten drum set buried in his garage. Since then, he has played in numerous bands, drumming or playing bass. Why We Never Go Swimming and Other Short Stories (March 2006) is Elijahs third album. It is a collection of sad and sorrowful stories set atop a musical backdrop as varied as New Englands climate, with lush arrangements of horns and choir rising from bleak and simply strummed melodies. His narratives meander along, telling of ghosts, and curses, and suicide, and murder, and infidelity. Many songs pick up where another has left off, finishing the story. Lyrically, Elijah is potent but never sappy, drawing influences from southern gothic writers like Flannery O Conner and Eudora Welty. They can be at once dark and optimistic. Performer Magazine has praised them as, "Witty," and, "Subtle." Elijah is currently finishing a degree in writing. He is married to a lovely young artist named Rhonda. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Metalsmithing. Together they own a gallery called Share an Umbrella that donates 10% of proceeds to charity and have a kitten named, "Puppy." They live in a quaint apartment in Danvers, MA where they create art, and music, and write as much as possible. Releases --------------------------------------------------------------
