Press
“Step on Olympia’s Glass Elevator and you will be shot straight back into the depths of the musical revolution of the 1960s.
The four-piece ensemble of Jabe Jabberwock on guitar, Mars Carlson on bass and keyboards, Paul Vandall on drums and Wylie VanWenger on guitar (all members are given vocal credits) create a nostalgic, yet fresh sound on this album that mirrors the musical greats of four decades ago on their 2010 album “Psychic Battleship.”
“Psychic Battleship” covers a wide range of styles going from upbeat, catchy pop sounds to slowed-down, extended psychedelia... The music is all original, while obviously inspired by the music that the band’s parents probably listened to.
Technically talented, Glass Elevator creates inspired, multi-faceted compositions and are able to create a variety of moods. Going from manic highs to spaced-out lows, “Psychic Battleship” could be a soundtrack for a short trip on hallucinogens.
