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. “It was a glacial pace,” Dunn said of the process. “When we first put it out there was very little reaction. But the reaction we did get was very passionate, which was exciting for us because we felt like we were on to something.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDefying expectations is standard operating procedure for El Ten Eleven. Seriously, who would expect two instrumentalists to create such a large and complex sound? But 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarly on Dunn feared the quirkiness of the group’s two-man band approach would overshadow their music. “When we first started and we made that first record, I was really worried that people would only be interested in the novelty of us looping and playing everything by ourselves as just two people,” Dunn shared. “I was worried that they wouldn’t be moved by the music. But as it turned out, although people were impressed that it was just the two of us, they love the music.“ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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. “I’m aiming for emotional impact when I come up with songs,” Dunn explained. “Does it move me? Does it make me feel something? Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes 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.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEl Ten Elven\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e was released in 2004, on-demand music streaming services were still in their embryonic phase. The growth of those services would be a consequential factor in introducing El Ten Eleven’s music to the world. Dunn views the development of digital music distribution services as a liberating force for artists, an effective channel to sidestep the suffocating control of corporate media. \"Really, this is a Golden Age of music,” Dunn observed. “I think this is the greatest time in history to be a musician. We don't have to rely on MTV or a radio station to be heard. If you make something great people will find it. I'm not saying what we did was great, but that's what we were aiming for. I figured people would find us and they did. It took a long time, but it worked.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor all the band’s fans who discovered this album via online streaming services, JNR’s deluxe vinyl reissue of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEl Ten Eleven\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e provides an excellent opportunity to bypass the compromised bitrates and crappy laptop speakers associated with digital listening, allowing listeners to experience this music in all of its full-frequency high-fidelity glory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, Dunn remains humbled by the ongoing interest in El Ten Eleven’s debut. “The fact that people still like a record we put out in 2004 is unbelievably gratifying. Tim and I were still figuring out what we were doing when we made that album. I think that might be part of why it's appealing to people. It's a very honest record and naiveté can be really fascinating. So I'm glad it was honest, and I'm glad we did it. It's definitely bringing us more than I thought it ever would. It's surpassed my expectations for longevity and impact, and of course we’re happy about that.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"El Ten Eleven","offers":[{"title":"Gold Vinyl + Digital (Limited pressing of 1000.

That was true for \u003cstrong\u003eEl Ten Eleven\u003c\/strong\u003e’s Kristian Dunn. When a beloved family member passed, Dunn found his own reflections on life emerging in the music he composed. Those expressions led to the creation of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTautology\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e — a sonic meditation on the arc of human life, composed in three parts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the course of three discs, \u003cem\u003eTautology \u003c\/em\u003eis, in Dunn’s words, “a representation of life from the teenage years, through middle-age, until the end of life.” The sounds on the album echo Dunn’s own experiences, veering from aggressive metallic riffs to blissful ambient soundscapes. And while there are shared melodies and harmonies through all three records, each one has its own distinct qualities: \u003cem\u003eTautology I\u003c\/em\u003e, which represents adolescence, is angsty, aggressive and occasionally depressive; \u003cem\u003eTautology II \u003c\/em\u003eis head-noddy and mid-tempo, and represents middle age; while \u003cem\u003eTautology III\u003c\/em\u003e, quiet and ambient, represents one’s golden years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe music on the first disc, \u003cem\u003eTautology I\u003c\/em\u003e, has a heavier sound that might surprise longtime El Ten Eleven fans. “I wanted to represent what my teenage years were like, when I was full of testosterone and depression,” says Dunn. “When you're a teenager everything feels so grandiose and dramatic.” The album’s second movement, \u003cem\u003eTautology II\u003c\/em\u003e, reflects Dunn’s current state. “I'm middle-aged now, and this is the happiest I've ever been. I think that comes across in the music. This record is the one that sounds the most like the El Ten Eleven people are used to.” For the final chapter, \u003cem\u003eTautology III\u003c\/em\u003e, Dunn composed a transcendent set of ethereal music inspired partly by the loss of a dear family member. “I don't know what it's like to be elderly. But my grandmother-in-law Frances McMaster was a very inspiring person. She died recently, and I was thinking about her a lot. She was really smart. She lived into her early nineties and she wrote her fourth book when she was eighty-eight. I'd like to be like her if I make it to that age.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTautology\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is not a typical rock album, and El Ten Eleven are not a typical rock band. For seventeen years the instrumental duo of Dunn (bass\/guitar) and Tim Fogarty (drums) have flourished outside the accepted norms of rock orthodoxy, releasing eight full length albums and four EPs, and performing over 750 live shows. Utilizing inventive arrangements and a masterful use of looping, El Ten Eleven create a sound much bigger than the sum of its parts. Most first-timers to an El Ten Eleven show are stunned that the band is a duo. It’s a refreshing sight and a palette whose boundaries the band have explored for unexpected additions to their sound. \u003cem\u003eTautology\u003c\/em\u003e finds Dunn and Fogarty pushing this sound into new territory, experimenting with a range of textures not heard on previous El Ten Eleven releases. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoyful Noise Recordings will digitally release each of \u003cem\u003eTautology\u003c\/em\u003e’s three discs, individually and in sequential order, beginning May 1st, with a physical 3xLP release on September 18, 2020. Dunn explains there’s no right or wrong way to listen to \u003cem\u003eTautology\u003c\/em\u003e, suggesting that a deep dive into the full project will yield rewards. “I think someone could listen to any one of the discs by themselves and have a really great experience—even if they didn't know about the others. But if they do want to go deeper, I think there will be a lot of interesting stuff to discover. It works symbolically and it all connects.

Sometimes the only refuge left is the nowhere of our own minds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEl Ten Eleven’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNowhere Faster\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the duo’s 16th release, was forged within that unease. Across eight tracks, it considers not just nothingness but velocity—the strange urgency that propels us forward even when the destination remains unclear. We are committed to acceleration, convinced speed itself might save us. The 33-minute album slows just long enough to pose the harder questions: what are we running from, and what do we think we can outrun?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat tension appears even in the album’s artwork, once again created with longtime collaborator Rob Fleming. It depicts a classic liminal space: familiar, anonymous, quietly unsettling. A stained glass-colored building and a streetlamp blur at the edges, suggesting motion that feels less like escape than enclosure—the kind that traps rather than transports.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNowhere Faster\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e emerged from Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty’s longest break from touring and recording in their 23 years together, though “break” is something of a misnomer. Dunn’s famously restless creative pace never slowed. Instead, he began writing for not one but two drummers, handing Fogarty one of the most demanding challenges of his career. The record also marks a first for the band, weaving real strings and piano throughout, deepening the palette of what is already one of their most layered works.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album’s titles and sounds draw from moments scattered across the band’s 23-year history. Opener “Uncanny Valley Girl” marks the return of long-retired effects like the delay pedal, stacking basslines into a dense, enveloping wall. It’s a clear-eyed take on AI-era paranoia, anchored by Fogarty’s steady rhythm—snare taut, cymbals gently alive—giving the sci-fi unease something solid to lean on. “Bjork’s Alarm Clock,” meanwhile, takes its title from an insult hurled at the band by a guitarist of a punk band on their first tour; you can almost hear Dunn and Fogarty’s quiet laughter beneath the buoyant bass and bow-scratched strings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStill, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNowhere Faster\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is not a retreat into nostalgia. El Ten Eleven remains invested in risk and reinvention. The record continues to center Fogarty’s propulsive drumming and Dunn’s bass-driven experimentation: the first four tracks (“side A”) feature electric bass, while the latter half (“side B”) shifts to acoustic bass processed through pedals, subtly altering the album’s emotional weight. “Last Night In The Kitchen” reaches for the slick, sleazy bombast of classic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBond\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e themes, opening new corridors for Dunn’s ever-expanding musical ambitions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlbum closer “So It Goes” draws inspiration from Dunn’s reading of Kurt Vonnegut’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSlaughterhouse-Five\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, coinciding with his reckoning with aging, loss, and the deaths of friends. Built around one of his stranger sonic experiments—a capo wrapped around a fretless acoustic bass—the song unfurls into a twangy, americana-inflected lament.
