“El Ten Eleven… create a dazzling pallatte of electronic sound.” – Urb
“Winning the prize for the most technically impressive band I’ve seen this year was L.A.’s El Ten Eleven. Dunn was often playing guitar and bass simultaneously on his double-necked guitar while his foot moved in a blur across effects and looping pedals. The coordination and precision was breathtaking without straying into gimmickry.” – Denver Post
“El Ten Eleven’s… instrumental post-rock occasionally brings to mind Tortoise or the Album Leaf but just as often indulges its inner Daft Punk with thumping electronic beats.” – The Pitch (Kansas City MO)
“A sort of Silverlake-style Sigur Ros, the L.A. duo makes experimental instrumental music that’s both highly skilled and deeply felt… the duo’s compositions take on an incredible musical and emotional complexity.” – Spin
“Armed with only bass, drums and an array of foot pedals, the duo creates lush instrumental soundscapes reminiscent of the music of Tortoise, Radiohead and Sigur Ros. Audiences are stunned and amazed that only two musicians can perfectly replicate the textures, nuances and fullness of their studio release.” – Filter
“Constructed extraordinary tunnels of sound using various effects pedals and sampled loops that they create on the fly. Just think Explosions in the Sky – but with a pulse.” – Seattle Times
In the music section under ‘DOWLOAD THIS’... “West Coast duo El Ten Eleven make instrumental rock that’s not boring.” – Entertainment Weekly
