Absent Elk are a British pop rock band who formed in 2008.[1] They have released two singles to date, and released their first album in October 2009. Their cover version of Girls Aloud's "The Loving Kind", which was posted on YouTube, became a small phenomenon and led to them being invited to support Girls Aloud on the first leg of their Out of Control Tour in spring 2009.[2] The band's name comes from their Norwegian influence, as the band's lead vocalist, Kjetil Mørland, is from Norway, whom he represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 alongside Debrah Scarlett.[1]
