Today, too stressed by midterms to study and too excited about Halloween to care about much of anything else, I put on my fuzziest sweater-and-corduroy combo, bought a pumpkin spice latte, parked myself at my favorite table in the library that looks out on my favorite panoramic view of the Potomac River, and snuggled down for some nostalgic, autumnal tunes. Somewhat of a romantic, I have a whole playlist dedicated to very specific moods like this one, but today I was content to sit back and let the enigmatic hush-pop maker Elsa do all the work. The Toronto based semi-dream-pop trio has just released their debut EP under the NotUnlike label and you can check out their single, “In Two,” and listen to their full EP on their bandcamp site. Good luck finding any other information, pictures, YouTube videos, or descriptions, though, but something about their anonymity makes Elsa all the more appealing. I’ll have to go back to the real world eventually (I’d say probably sometime in November), but until then, you know where to find me.
