Please Please You presents Elephant Micah + Dallas Boner + Colin Rowntree
Elephant Micah is music by southern Indiana based singer and sound recordist Joseph O'Connell. Taking cues from 1970s songcraft (Townes Van Zandt, Joni Mitchell) as well as midwestern lo-fi rock (Guided by Voices), Elephant Micah has gradually built a cult audience over a decade of do-it-yourself releases and tours.
O'Connell's work is perhaps best known among other musicians. Country rocker Jason Molina (Magnolia Electric Co., Songs:Ohia) is one such enthusiast, going so far as to arrange a string of impromptu opening slots for Elephant Micah on his 2005 European tour. More recently, art-folk darlings Dark Dark Dark have adopted the Elephant Micah song "Wild Goose Chase" as a staple of their repertoire, recording the song first for the popular Daytrotter website and subsequently on their Bright Bright Bright EP.
2010 saw Elephant Micah release Echoer's Intent, a stripped-down, almost "old-timey" album that is perhaps the first to foreground O'Connell as a songwriter and solo
