Athens, Georgia band Elf Power has been cranking out homespun psychedelic rock for nearly three decades, with their 14th album “Artificial Countrysides” coming out this July on Yep Roc records. I spoke to the band’s founder, Andrew Rieger about Elf Power’s beginnings, working with legendary producer Dave Fridman, collaborating with artists like Vic Chesnutt and Robyn Hitchcock, his roots in the hardcore punk scene, being involved with the Elephant 6 Collective, the farm and record label Orange Twin, and his crew of indie rock musicians teaching at the University of Georgia.
