Remember when emotionally driven indie, punk rockers and/or wannabes ruled the scene? Me either. Well The Elected saw the future of us all growing older and softer. Arguably the first band of the sort that I can remember witnessing the incorporation of a pedal steel guitar & that certain level of guitar twang. The Elected and their 1st album, Me First toe the line between those previously mentioned sounds and what is more commonly known today as alt-country or Americana.

“Me First proves to be a remarkably consistent and memorable listen. Each of Sennett's songs overflows with fragments of hyper-specific details like dates and place names, which lends an uneasy and illusory intimate quality to the album”

•
“This album is something that took me with a pleasant surprise. This band tries some different combinations, takes some risks, and, ultimately, makes everything come together in the end”

“Me First is a sensation of an album. Everything seemed to fall into place on this debut. Not only did Sennett start out by writing beautifully personal and intimate songs”
– @treblezine
