The Elected are a Los Angeles–based indie rock band.

Sennett, Boesel and Bloom were also members of Rilo Kiley.

Nate Greely, former member of Sub Pop band Arlo, also currently tours with The Elected.

After taking time off from the music business, Blake Sennett returned with a third Elected album entitled Bury Me In My Rings, which was released on 17 May 2011 via Vagrant Records.

Described as "complete with twelve shimmering pop songs reminiscent of mid-century West Coast rock",[1] Sennett played most instruments and produced the album himself: “I played most of the instruments myself, so it was easier to erase stuff without hurting anyone’s feelings.
