Elan Sign to APF Records
February 15, 2025
APF Records is thrilled to introduce you to ELAN and announce their upcoming release, Elan Vs Elan, a split album with a twist—two personalities, one band.
The album highlights the creative duality of founders Shane Miller (A Horse Called War) and Joseph Woodbury (ex-William English). Recorded at Bomb Store Studios in two separate sessions, it underscores their fractured yet cohesive musical identity.
Hailing from Norwich, Elan crafts sludge metal and noise-rock built on raw energy, dark atmospheres, and a deep love of film and TV. With Shane on vocals, guitar, and bass, and Joe on drums, they deliver an intense sound, enriched by their alter egos, Billie and Dianne—rabbit-masked figures inspired by the unsettling world of David Lynch.
Originally formed in 2015, Elan paused when Joe moved to the US. His 2019 return revived the project, culminating in the recording of eight tracks in 2023. Each song on Elan Vs Elan draws from cult cinema and TV, blending savagely experimental soundscapes with visual storytelling.
First single My English Tongue drops late February. Prepare for something truly heavy and unpredictable.
