Over the group's four years and
six releases, more than 20 Quad City, Iowa/Illinois artists have
lent their talents to the Multiple cat cause. As for the music
itself, the songs are as varied as the line-up that plays them,
without straying too far from the group's avant-pop explorations
at it's core. Having gelled into the most cohesive work to date, "Elements
Of" runs the gamut from the drum and bass groove of "My
Mantra" to the dark psychodrama of "The Housewife." Art
Rock hat-tippings occur on such tunes as "What You Know,
What You Think You Know" and "The Nebula" as well
as good old light pop numbers like "Little Pieces" and "Rod
and Apples." "Elements Of" promises to keep the
listener guessing while leaving them surprised to see such sugarcoated
complexity going down so smoothly.
