About this product
The music of El Ten Eleven has been described as meditation in motion, which seems apt. For the first time in their 16-year career, the band worked with an outside producer to distill this descriptor, teaming up with Sonny DiPerri and moving into the incredible confines of Panoramic House on the beautiful Northern California coast. The result is InchBanker's HillInch an album that explores the paradox of beauty in anxiety, the importance and effect of family and the fleeting possibility of satisfaction. Made up of Kristian Dunn (bass, guitar) and Tim Fogarty (Drums), they utilize multiple looping pedals to create songs that sound as though they are being played by at least six people. Most first-timers to an El Ten Eleven show are stunned that the band is a duo. It's a refreshing site in this age of letting the computers do all the work. 01. Three And A Half High And Rising02.

Limited Bone colored vinyl LP pressing. 2023 from the post-rock duo.
15 years ago, Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty released their self-titled debut album as El Ten Eleven. The self-released LP received only modest attention initially, but the project would go on to defy all expectations, gradually attracting a significant cult audience of loyal fans. But defying expectations is standard operating procedure for El Ten Eleven. Seriously, who would expect two instrumentalists to create such a large and complex sound? Thanks to inventive arrangements and a masterful use of looping, Dunn (bass/guitar) and Fogarty (drums) developed a pulsating sound full of atmospheric intensity. They've also crafted an incredibly durable career, and the duo credit the ongoing interest in their debut album as the foundation for that success. The music of El Ten Eleven has been embraced by fans of many genres - from math rock, to jazz, to lo-fi hip-hop. The duo's sound is sharply evocative in mood and feeling, yet simultaneously abstract and meditative. The combination of these qualities has stimulated the imagination of the group's fans, and gives space for listeners to assign their own value and meaning to the sounds. InchI'm aiming for emotional impact when I come up with songs,Inch Dunn explained. InchSometimes it's technically interesting but it doesn't make me feel anything. But I don't want music that's interesting. I want music that's emotionally resonate.Inch
On El Ten Eleven's These Promises Are Being Videotaped (2008) the Los Angeles post-rock duo pays tribute to bassist Kristian Dunn's obsession with his hometown's underground dance scene. Eight songs of electronic glitching (InchJumping Frenchmen of MaineInch), explosive drum soloing (InchFat Gym RiotInch), and blistering rhythms (InchK10Inch). Back in print on Amber Vinyl.
