Elephant: "Skyscraper"

At first glance, the A-side of Elephant's upcoming Memphis Industries single isn't much more than a pleasant slice of dream pop, proudly wearing the influence of groups like Beach House on its sleeves. But while the spindly guitar line, brief organ splashes, and smoky female lead vocal are all familiar genre touchstones, "e;Skyscraper"e; contains its share of distinctive elements. A melodic, catchy bass line and steady beat serve as rhythmic anchors, grounding the song where others might swirl aimlessly, and the chorus is complemented nicely by bursts of choral backing vocals. In striking a balance between airy, light pop and an assertive, earthy low end, Elephant properly honor the song's title: after all, skyscrapers couldn't exist without solid foundations.
