Press for Cheap Beer

"[Young Elk] continues their dependable run of immaculately recorded material, fusing elements of processed and stately dream-pop with downcast contemporary folk cues and heavy, bar-band balladry." (Rosey Music)

"Rudick’s distinctive vocals convey his unique blend of sincerity and cynicism. As such, ‘Cheap Beer’ is bathed in a kind of resigned sadness, born of a long-held struggle between understanding the world as tragic and trying to find beauty or at least empathy within its futile grind." (Various Small Flames)
