Elihu Okay, Oil ( Official Music Video)

Elihu Okays music is a product of his Northeastern indie rock adolescence and his gift for writing ghostly and contemplative poems. Elihu grew up playing in bands in basements in Western Massachusetts, spinning earlyaughts anxiety into reflective tracks that built the foundation for his sound. He has an endearing appreciation for simple humor, the brilliant and dumb. If youre not saying something thats a little embarrassing then youre not saying much at all, he told Noisey. Oil, Elihu Okays new single, is about a phone call that didnt happen, he said. Thinking, What would I say if I called this person in the moments after a relationship ends. With intense breaks and pauses and harmonic bursts of energy, the song is raw and winding. The Oil music video encapsulates the songs elusiveness, drifting between mysterious shots in car headlights in the rain and footage of Elihu in Prospect Park.
