ELLEVATOR

Ellevator is a band from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Raised on the cool precision of late-aughts guitar music and the melodrama of post-rock, they hold lean hooks and sweeping crescendos in perfect tension. Frontwoman Nabi Sue Bersche wields her arresting lyricism with clear-eyed lucidity, drawing deeply personal reflections from big themes like power, love, and loss. Citing influences that range from stadium limelight (U2, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush) to the warm glow of indie haunts (Feist, Spoon, Death Cab For Cutie) Ellevator’s music hits with the impact of great pop songs and the fierce emotional resonance of their rock and roll heroes.

The band's debut full-length album - The Words You Spoke Still Move Me - arrives on May 6, 2022, via Arts & Crafts and is produced by Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie, Foxing, Tegan & Sara). Early singles from the record have received nods from NPR, The Needle Drop, FLOOD, The Line of Best Fit, Exclaim, CBC Radio, Under the Radar, Consequence and more.
