Elyxr debuts “Planes” ft. Elissa of Kodacrome

Elyxr debuts new single "Planes" featuring Elissa LeCoque of Kodacrome

Today, Elyxr are debuting their single “Planes” featuring Elissa LeCoque of Kodacrome. ELYXR is a brand new collaborative-band concocting modern synthpop potions. Spearheaded by Seattle-based electronic music songwriter/producer Kasson Crooker (Symbion Project, Freezepop, Rocococo), ELYXR will release a string of singles this summer, each a collaboration with a different singer/songwriter. The debut track “Engine” was co-written with Elissa LeCoque of the Brooklyn indie-electronic act Kodacrome.

Quote from Elissa:

“I actually had Kasson’s production in my headphones for long before I ever met him. I have a distinct memory of Less Talk More Rokk getting me through the final stretch of running Bay To Breakers! So it was great to play a show with him in Brooklyn years later. When Kasson suggested a collaboration, I was excited for the opportunity to work on something a little more poppy than my typical Kodacrome repertoire. In a lot of ways, I feel like it can be more challenging to write a great pop song than a dark one. It somehow takes more guts, at least for me. As it turned out, working together was really easy, since I trust his ear and sensibilities, especially when it comes to melody and progressions.”
