Elika – Moving Forward c/w Bury 7” (2013) review

Elika “Moving Forward” c/w “Bury” 7” (Saint Marie, 2013)
This is the first of three singles Elika will be releasing
over the next year uner the umbrella title “Girls, Be Serious”. The electronic
beats of “Moving Faster” pull the listener into Evagilia Maravelias’ yearning
vocals and pleading lyrics. There’s a faint Stevie Nicks lilt to her delivery
which wraps the listener in a double-tracked cocoon of warmth and emotional
hope that this time, love is for real.
The flip, “Bury” has a gospel vibe that reaches out beyond
Beach Boys harmonies and driving backbeats for another emotional plea for love
and encouragement (“Tell me you’re gonna miss me”) which, overall, is even
better than the A-side. You sure don’t have to ask me twice. I miss you already
and can’t wait for the next installment.
