Description/Reviews: 

Putting these things together, and also recognizing some mild complexity, I think the Elegacy sense of melody, groove, and simple accessibility are what captured my attention. It's self-evident in songs like April Sun, The Dragon's Age, or The Other Me where melody weaves through moments of heaviness, speed, levity, and technicality with Gianni's voice leading the way. Perhaps the signature expression of their sound comes with The Impefect Miracle of Life where brisk motion and heaviness is bounded by some sweet interludes. One is about the midpoint with piano and Lepond's bass over some slight drums; another is the bass and playful jazz piano at the outro. Alternatively, for something less delicate, Elegacy can go straight to intensity as within the thick riff and rhythm section blister of When The Night Comes Down.
