Elvito

Elvito are an electro-alternative indie duo from Denmark and Faroe Islands whose psychedelic grooves and chill dub sounds test boundaries and challenge convention in a raw blend of obscure synths and jangly guitars. The multi-instrumentalists, Bastian Lahn Petersen and Rasmus á Fríðriksmørk Borðoy, have been playing music together since they were children in a music school. In 2017, Elvito’s first debut album was released, titled ‘Adapt to Land’, receiving attention by Faroese National Radio and the Danish university radio ‘Uniradioen’. In 2020, their singles “She´s an Animal” and “Chauffeur” marked a turning point in the development of their musical ideology of mixing 70’s reggae vibes with surf-rock experimentation and ambient synths. They have released four songs in 2023, and they are bringing an energy that makes people wanna dance and also wonder if they feel absent or present. ‘Elvito’, or, ‘dancing mania’, the groove that overcomes you and causes inevitable dancing, connects the dots between Gorillaz, The Doors and Frank Ocean in an charmingly oddball soundscape of mysterious laid-back ambience.
