This World is on Fire is proof that the best late discoveries can come from your own backyard. Flagpole Magazine
Catches your attention, and more importantly, holds it, not just because no one else currently comes to immediate mind with a comparable sound, but also because it’s really, really good. Stomp and Stammer Magazine
Elevado is one of the bands to watch in the burgeoning East Atlanta music scene. Melded melodies, harmonious noise, volatile vocals, inventive beats, and –sneakily imbedded in the mix– crafty hooks float amid an alternately tranquil and abrasive wail of noise. Elevado’s sonic strike often threatens to implode only to find splintery redemption. Creative Loafing Magazine
Happily resides on the outer edges of pop… the bands plows head-on into a beautifully horrific black hole. Georgia Music Magazine
“INDY PICK of the Week! Elevado, at The Cave” The Independent Weekly, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
“Critics Pic, Elevado”Weekly Dig, Boston
“Completely realized jangle-pop perfection, which recalls Television, Galaxie 500, The Mekons and Guided by Voices, there has to be a home in the hearts of self-respecting music nerds all across the college radio dial for a band this good.”Nashville Rage“
Danceable trance-pop that has the familiar ring of Joy Division, Depeche Mode and The Fixx, albeit with peerless Elevado touches like creative short-circuiting and amp modification”Nashville Scene, Critics Pic
Elevado stands out above the crowd with this album, pushing Atlanta out of the old and into the new. Southeast Performer Magazine
Chaotically appealing and charming. Pine Magazine
