"A smile says it all", "It deletes everything". These cryptic phrases form the origin of the acronym and the band name ELSA. Over the last 2 years, the four guys from Vienna and Lower Austria have been tinkering with a longplayer in the studio of mastermind and producer Andreas Fennes with a lot of joy of experimenting and playing. Mastering icon Michael Schwabe (AnnenMayKantereit, Die Toten Hosen) gave the band the final touch. The themes of love, lust and farewell play just as important a role as the band's everyday stories. The selftitled debut album "ELSA" is a journey from hells to worlds of wonder, marked by personal memories and reappraisal of long forgotten things, stories of self-discovery, introspection and doubt.
