MV & EE is the moniker for the American musical duo composed of Matt "MV" Valentine and Erika "EE" Elder. This Vermont-based partnership has been at the forefront of American neo-psychedelia and experimental folk since the early 2000s, interweaving various strands of Americana with avant-garde sensibilities. Their music seamlessly blends acoustic and electric elements, combining guitar-driven melodies, otherworldly effects, and often incorporating instruments such as the banjo and mandolin to forge a deeply immersive sonic tapestry.

The duo's prolific output is characterized by a distinct lo-fi aesthetic and an unflagging devotion to improvisation and sonic exploration, frequently drawing upon the traditions of American blues, folk, and psychedelia. Albums like "Gettin' Gone" and "Green Blues" showcase their penchant for earthy, textured sounds, while releases such as "Drone Trailer" and "Cap Trips" journey into more expansive, cosmic territories. Through a steady stream of releases, including "Root/Void" and the homage "Play Ellas McDaniel's Who Do You Love," MV & EE have cemented their status as torchbearers of a genre-defying form of folk, consistently pushing the boundaries of how traditional Americana is perceived and experienced. Their music invites listeners into an otherworldly retreat, painted with a palette that is as much indebted to the past as it is visionary in its forward thinking.
