The volume is penned by all of the band members, combining historical interviews and personal journals, with present-day conversations, anecdotes, recollections, and reflections yielding new poetry and prose. The writing is complemented by over one hundred unpublished images. This mix of styles touches on band facts and timelines while also spotlighting the negative space around the band: personal and interpersonal moments of its members and the broader community and culture in which they were immersed. Swiz is a deep dive into the band and its members, a celebration of warped memory, and a unique snapshot of a time and scene that continues to inspire musicians, artists, and fans alike. Order here.

The Elusive formed in 1997. Following the breakup of their band, Corm, Alex Ficker, Dan Chu, and John Davis decided to form a new band that would tour that summer behind only a demo tape. Rounded out by Ian Chu and Chris Richards, the band wrote 6 songs and played shows in the midwest and mid-Atlantic. Created as a short-term project, the Elusive's last show was April 28, 1998 in D.C. Expert Work has released an LP of the 6 songs entitled "Sometimes Sounds Collapse" and you can order it now.
