LOS ANGELES, CA – February 17, 2011 – The Elected and Vagrant Records are pleased to announce the release of the band's newest album, Bury Me In My Rings, on May 17th. Produced and recorded by frontman Blake Sennett (Rilo Kiley guitarist/co-songwriter)with help from Jason Cupp and longtime Elected contributor Mike Bloom, Bury Me In My Rings is complete with twelve shimmering pop songs reminiscent of mid-century West Coast rock.
"I played most of the instruments myself, so it was easier to erase stuff without hurting anyone's feelings,” Blake comments. “This time I just thought, better take it as far as I can alone...then bring in my friends to fill in the blanks.”
The result is a thoughtful and deliberate pop album layered with soulful harmonies and a sunny disposition, and is easily The Elected's most impressive work to date. Simply put, people just don't make pop albums like this anymore.

"Her strength seems to reside in her ability to be musically versatile. Utilizing various orchestrations, Tristen weaves a glistening web of thoughtful and extremely mature melodies that tremble with undeniable power." -American Songwriter
“Pop hooks and pure inspiration” – NPR All Things Considered
Her addictive debut is full of such moments: catchy refrains with multiple meanings, ear-tugging melodies with hidden hooks. She flaunts a philosophy major's palette amidst echoes of vintage rockabilly and girl group pop: Gods battle, queens bid their rule, girlfriends enable druggy lovers. – Rolling Stone
