progressive rockpsychedelic rockstoner rock
Elder transcended their early stoner doom origins in Boston to become one of progressive rock's most celebrated modern acts. Albums like 'Lore' and 'Omens' weave together heavy psych, krautrock, and progressive rock into sweeping compositions that build and evolve with patient, masterful pacing. Their instrumental passages recall the adventurous spirit of classic prog while maintaining a heavy foundation that keeps them rooted in the rock underground.
