A little bit soul rock, a little bit funk, The Constellations have seamlessly blended these and other genres of music. The eight member group, headed by Elijah Jones, son of a Baptist deacon is comprised of members of veterans of the Atlanta indie scene. First picked up by a small radio station in Milwaukee, the band is currently on a national tour that includes many prestigious events, such as Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo and Summerfest to name a few.
Their latest album really provides an entertaining listen, as most every song brings its own unique sound. “Love is Murder” is one of their more popular songs, using a driving piano riff and catchy lyrics to make this a great song. “Setback” is a really cool tune, using electronic effects and nice vocal harmonies; this song has an “easy listening” feel to it. From the songs I checked out, each song is really distinctive and likeable for different reasons. As for the future, Jones isn’t worried about creating new material saying, “as long as I can find a bar, I can write new material.”
