Me encantó el tema. No lo conocía. La Voz de la cantante es preciosa

Amelia Rivas and Christian Pinchbeck don't just sing about feverish, frayed and  fractured romances – in the three years since forming  Elephant, they've been living one.

Their first recordings, recorded in the strung out early mornings after the night before, were delirious and light-headed. Rivas’ stream of conscious lyricism combined with Pinchbeck’s innate melodic nous to create vignettes of delight and wonder.  A debut single followed, 2011’s woozy Ants, followed by the Assembly EP.   But before they had a chance to capitalise on the growing acclaim around them the duo’s relationship broke down, almost to the point of no return.

That seemed to be Elephant’s graveyard.  Yet an unexpected rapprochement in late 2012, and a renewed musical hunger saw Rivas and Pinchbeck reconcile.  The first fruit was this year’s gauzy single Skyscraper, which announced their return in spectacular fashion, with Rivas’ swooping vocals allied to a spectral chorus creating an eerie, lens-flared 3 minute wonder of song.

Now, new release Shapeshifter provides confirmation that Elephant are truly back as a force to be reckoned with. “I flew to the moon to mirror you and I saw the future” sings Rivas, with a raw melancholy and nostalgic longing. A sumptuous missive of love lost and lessons learned, that sparkles with charm, optimism, and the sort of lush swoonsome string arrangements that reach into your chest and wring your heart dry. 

Backed by the sparse and stretched out Snowday, as icily cool as it sounds, full of chiaroscuro contrasts and flickering atmospherics, it’s a release that suggests their debut album is set to be one of the standout albums of 2014.

Why Do I Always Feel This Way

Pale Honey - Why Do I Always Feel This Way

lacking forth, an ace in the hole, drilling like a mole
seriously facing it all, nationwide adored
i would take, a wander through the city streets into darkening edge
festy race, faeces into my face, i forfeit the race

head first into night air, break forth, you were not there,
heartbreak again
slump down sink to the knees, becoming easy to please
heartbreak again

I’m not getting off easy, so to speak, needn’t you worry bout anything further
and i’d take it or leave it, poison if i do but not if not 
i made life so convoluted, in my world, the pleasure rolls in endless bouts and bounds
forgiving the method, was the easiest i’d brought upon myself

atoned into black death, taking in a full breath, 
your thighs around my neck i miss so bad
taken from the parking lot, safely in the oldest form 
nothing to say anymore without a sake anymore

LYRICS:

Out of words and lost my touch with everything
Fell into the cracks living for my domain
All the noise is following and keeps on echoing
Turn it off I'm coming back again

Don't Fall Asleep
Don't Fall Asleep

Built me up but underneath is crumbling
And what I see as lost is now all mine to find
Like the oceans' tide, it pulls me in and back again
I've found the words I recognize this light

Don't Fall Asleep
Don't Fall Asleep
Don't Fall Asleep
Don't Fall Asleep

I can see a paradise
Calling calling out to me
Could this be a paradise
Calling calling out to me

Don't Fall Asleep
Don't Fall Asleep
Don't Fall Asleep
Don't Fall Asleep

Don't Fall Asleep (I will stay awake)
Don't Fall Asleep (Oh I will stay awake)
Don't Fall Asleep (I will stay awake)
Don't Fall Asleep (Oh I will stay awake)
Don't Fall Asleep

Don't Fall Asleep
