Elliott BROOD announce their return to Six Shooter Records, home of the trio’s early breakout albums, with their seventh album, Keeper. The title, which speaks to loyalty and longevity, sets the tone for an album that explores the strength of conviction, and how that strength is tested over time. Thoughts of worthiness and dedication, and their emotional flip sides, inform a collection that sees the history-minded band exploring battlefields much closer to home.

For the first taste of Keeper, a bright acoustic intro bursts into the buoyant, carefree chorus in “Stay Out,” a song about when and why we find our way home. Mixed by Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers) and engineered by Daryl Neudorf (Neko Case), “Stay Out” is all blue sky and sunshine even while it revels in the night. The song weighs the fleeting elation of recklessness against the deeper ties that bind.

The subject of family relationships, the push and pull of gratitude and conflict, reappears in more complicated forms with “Full of Wires,” a song about not leaving things unsaid, and “A Month of Sundays,” the fallout after too much is said. Keeper is especially focused on enduring, complex, long-term relationships, those into which we are born, those in which we grow older.

With dips into 50s slapback throwback in “No Way Out,” the metallic edges of “Bird Dog” - one of two songs mixed by Sylvia Massy (Tool/Johnny Cash) - and the splashes of synth on “The Coast,” Elliott BROOD continue to expand their sound beyond their acoustic origins. Keeper, created during mini writing and recording retreats while hopping across the summer festival circuit, marks another satisfying chapter in the ongoing evolution of Elliott BROOD.

Keeper will be released on September 18, 2020 on Six Shooter Records.

With the stomp and thrash of their early albums, Elliott BROOD carved their niche drawing from history and memory. As heavy and harrowing the past can be, for Elliott BROOD, it is also a generous companion, giving the gift of appreciation for times of peace and grace.

From the Polaris Music Prize short listed breakout album Mountain Meadows to the JUNO Award winning Days Into Years, the well-traveled trio of Mark Sasso, Casey Laforet and Stephen Pitkin have created a body of work that is at once meticulous and boisterous, substantial and entertaining.
