Elliot Lee

Born in Spokane, Washington, and later based in New York and Brooklyn, Elliot Lee has since the late 2010s been developing a project situated between alternative rock, pop rock and alt-pop, with direct writing, strongly marked choruses and an aesthetic that blends punk energy, sweet pop textures and accelerations borrowed from nightcore. Elliot Lee released his first EP, So It Won’t Kill Us, in 2018, followed by Pink (Freak) in 2020, before signing with Photo Finish Records that same year. This was followed by several short formats and singles, among them GoodBadUgly in 2020, can i sleep in ur bed, Drama Queen and Queen of Nothing in 2021, then 54321, Weird, Eels for Brains, Easy To Be You and Alive, Not Well between 2022 and 2023. In December 2023 Primordial Archive appeared, the first album that continues this blend of abrasive pop, very upfront melodies and dark or sarcastic atmospheres. On stage, Elliot Lee has toured with American indie-rock and indie-pop bands such as Joywave, Waterparks and Meet Me at the Altar, which also sheds light on the project’s place at the crossroads of contemporary pop and emo/alternative sensibilities.
