Late last year, the rising Newfoundland-based alternative act Elita announced their debut album, Dysania, due March 22, 2023 via Opposition. The band has now revealed their newest spooky, synth-laden gem, the wonderfully titled “She Bangs Like a Fairy on Acid.”
Speaking about the song through a press release, the band’s Elita and Tim Rypien said :
Tim: “I made this song at my parents house on Christmas Day. I was messing around with their digital piano trying to recreate the Unsolved Mysteries theme song. I missed the mark but thankfully the beat for “SBLAFOA” was born.”
Elita: “Timmy and I tried mushrooms for the first time before writing this song. I felt like I was living in a little fairy world and that totally inspired this song. I wrote the lyrics on Christmas too.”
The band is also getting ready to hit the road this spring which includes a stop in Toronto at Adelaide Hall on April 28th. The full list of tour dates can be seen under the video.
