Elijah Wolf

Biography

Elijah Wolf grew up surrounded by the peaks of the Catskill mountains. As overseers of the small hamlet of Phoenicia, they acted as companions to the eerie underbelly of a place that seems picture-perfect to tourists and transplants. Now, having lived in Ridgewood, Queens for the better part of a decade, Wolf found himself thinking back to the place he wanted to escape as soon as he could, but this time with a bittersweet, sincere nostalgia. The towns that make us never really leave us. Insights to the upstate traumas that are swept into the corners, a chiaroscuro that centers around community and perseverance. Like a county fair carousel, high school athletes, empty malls, dive bars and DUI’s, and fluorescent gas stations drown out the stars, as townies reach for something bigger and more beautiful than their fate will allow: Wolf’s signature sincerity and textured indie-rock forms the core of his sound.
