Ely Oaks

About

Ely Oaks is a sonic alchemist, blending the pulsating rhythms of electronic music with the raw emotion of indie and alternative influences. Emerging from the vibrant underground scene, Ely has carved out a niche that defies easy categorization, crafting tracks that feel both intimate and expansive. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Four Tet, Bonobo, and Caribou, their sound is a kaleidoscope of lush synths, intricate beats, and haunting melodies. The turning point in Ely’s career came with the release of their 2021 EP *Horizons*, a project that showcased their ability to weave narrative depth into danceable grooves. Tracks like "Falling Through" and "Echoes" became anthems for a generation seeking solace in rhythm and reflection. Critics praised the EP for its emotional resonance, with Pitchfork noting its "uncanny ability to balance introspection with euphoria." Collaborations have also been a cornerstone of Ely’s journey. Their work with vocalist RY X on "Where the Light Ends" was a masterclass in blending organic and electronic elements, while their remix of ODESZA’s "A Moment Apart" brought a fresh, ethereal twist to the original. Currently, Ely Oaks is pushing boundaries with their live performances, transforming clubs and festivals into immersive audio-visual experiences. With a new album on the horizon, Ely continues to evolve, proving that their artistry is as boundless as the landscapes their music evokes.
