Nowhere Faster is El Ten Eleven’s 16th release on Joyful Noise Recordings—eight tracks of driving, emotive instrumental rock forged during a rare pause in the duo’s 23-year run. Written for two drummers and enriched with real strings and piano, it deepens the band’s layered sound while keeping Tim Fogarty’s propulsive rhythms and Kristian Dunn’s bass-driven experimentation at the core. Side A centers electric bass; Side B shifts to acoustic bass processed through pedals, subtly changing the album’s emotional weight. Across 33 taut minutes, the record wrestles with momentum, time, and endurance—music that asks what we’re running from even as it urges us forward.
