Desser sits comfortably and maybe too much so dabbling in the pop soaked regions of inoffensive AOR. Upon first listen, Elk Lake Serenade suffers from a lack of this sort of unity, sitting as it does between equal parts mellow heartbreak songs and cheery countrified pop, and never in its individual sonic differences does it really threaten to form as a whole.
As while it is as melodic as it is melancholic, the lyrics are possibly much more telling considering the effort of its author to be everything to everyone. Hearing these only makes Hayden sound most interesting when he allows more ambient sounds to coat his often unhinged vocal turns. Short and stylistically different than much of the rest of the album, it features Hayden in top vocal form, gently wrapping his words around a meandering piano melody. It serves as a nice preamble for the more representative "Home by Saturday".
Here, Hayden presents hushed, slightly slurred vocals over a simplistic arrangement of acoustic guitar, plodding drums and twangy pedal steel. From this point, much of Elk-Lake acquiesces as Hayden delves into saturnine, sawdust-covered folk songs that are almost too quiet. Either you'll be enthralled by his underplayed persona or drift aimlessly and inattentively away from his soporific compositions.
With a clearer, more gripping vocal something Hayden proves himself capable of achieving on "Woody" , those tracks would be captivating instead of frustratingly retiring.
