Elemantra was formed by first cousins Justin Woodmancy (lead singer, guitar) and Nick Beiling (bass), both Wolf Clan, Seneca Nation, Ohi:yo’ (Allegany) Territory. It’s an incredible honor to feature a band from my home town, especially as we’ve forged our respective paths on a similar trajectory and timeline. Their new album, Only Momentary is the first released on the Admirable Traits Records label and its the last (for the time being anyway) to feature Nick’s bass chops. This week Justin joins me to reflect on their origins, and what makes Only Momentary a truly special release from a great up and coming band. Enjoy!
