The full-length debut from alt-rock band Ellevator, The Words You Spoke Still Move Me inhabits an emotional landscape both breathtakingly intimate and impossibly vast. Over the course of 12 incandescent songs, the Ontario-based trio document experiences at turns universal (existential longing, romantic power struggles, the neverending work of true self-discovery) and highly specific (e.g., frontwoman Nabi Sue Bersche’s journey in extracting herself from a cult). When met with their warm yet mercurial sound and transportive storytelling, the result is a truly hypnotic body of work, giving rise to the kind of radiant open-heartedness that radically transforms our own perspective.
