As part of the exciting 2015 released Where We Once Begun EP, the track Make It Out Alive was an offering from UK alternative rockers Elements which took longer to spark the senses than many of its companions but alone left expectations of major things from the band. Fair to say it has also proven to be a track which has only grown in thoughts and enjoyment since that first outing, blossoming over persistent listens and now makes for a striking new video single for the Southampton hailing quintet.
Formed towards the end of 2013, Elements have proceeding to forge a strong live reputation taking in shows with the likes of Bad Rabbits, The Afterparty, DEAD!, Ashes To Angels, The Hype Theory, and Public Service Broadcasting plus tours with They Say Fall, Elessar, As December Falls, and You Know The Drill along the way. The band’s aforementioned second EP, Where We Once Begun sparked eager attention and praise from Powerplay Magazine and Big Cheese among many, with the single Shaman from the Phil Gornell produced encounter leading the way. Continuing to make their name on the live circuit since, Elements now uncages Make It Out Alive on its own to stir up further attention.
The track opens on an alluring guitar jangle and the swiftly impressing voice of Graham Rogers, both quickly joined by a more maudlin bassline amid a sonic shimmer. The band’s rhythmic muscle is soon giving further depth and intensity to the song, the hefty swings of drummer Ash Martin uniting with the darker tones of Max Bakker’s bass as guitarists Ollie Butler and Robin Small cast a web of melodic imagination and dexterity. Captivating with increasing energy, as the backing vocal prowess of Bakker and Butler adds another further impressing texture to the adventurous and cleverly layered encounter, Make It Out Alive grabs ears and imagination alike.
As suggested the song is a grower; quickly pleasing on first listen and growing into a beaut of a proposition over time ensuring anticipation for Elements’ next step takes on certain eagerness.
