The E.L.F. is a musician and music producer formed by ex-Gerling frontman Darren Cross based in Sydney, Australia, mainly working from his music production company Bernstein Studios.[1]

History

With Gerling announcing in 2007 that they were going on an indefinite hiatus, Darren Cross began recording his debut self-produced solo E.L.F. EP Stevie Nicks Hearts at his home studio in Sydney. Along with this, Darren started up his own record label "Oaks Records". Darren has collaborated with many different and diverse artists over his career, including Cornelius, Kylie Minogue, The Avalanches and Kool Keith.

In June 2008 The E.L.F. contributed his track "Cockroaches" to an indie compilation album titled Indiecater Vol. 1.[2]

As of late December 2010 the E.L.F released his new album "Plankton Icke and Tina Turner David City Limits" as a free online downloadable album, available from The E.L.F.'s official Bandcamp.[3]

Currently working on his sophomore album "Freak Out Inn III" as the Darren Cross Band, to be released early 2013, Cross describes as his new direction as "folky, totally different".[4]
