Genre-Transcend-O-Core (Post-Post-Rock)

About Me

"In total, L’Elan Vital’s songs are sentences. Strings of characters and words and phrases. Their compositions are methods of communications. But it is not the vocals that do the communicating. The language that Vital speaks in is universal – it’s music and colors and textures and tones." Jonathan Bitz - Syntax Magazine
