“Elise” shows the strengths of singer/songwriter Damon Mitchell, an artist based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Inspired by ’60s Beatles and specifically McCartney, as well as ’70s classic rock, Mitchell conjures a timeless sounding vein of rock. “Elise” comes from a forthcoming album of the same name, releasing on March 2nd. The track touts a nocturnal feel, with suave vocals and chugging guitars leading a pleasant melody. The “locked up in chains,” bridge is particularly effective, especially when leading into the guitar solo just past the three-minute mark. “Elise” shows that Mitchell’s forthcoming EP is worth anticipating.
