James Elkington – “Very Berk Squad” 
by Andy
“Very Berk Squad’ dips into the new record from James Elkington. The guitarist, songwriter, and producer has popped up here quite a bit lately, but his is the first solo release since 2023’s meditative Me Neither. With a loping rhythm as its backbone, the song pairs percussive palms on the instrument with deeply dreamlike playing. It feels like a kindred spirit to the work coming from Yasmin Williams or Cameron Knowler these days; an acoustic conversation far from the traditions that have often tied the genre to the tracks. The new record, Pastel De Nada, is out March 28th from No Quarter.
