A bit of nothing !

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.

Elephant - Shapeshifter

School - SoLong

Having teased the initial album release with the gain-cranking self titled ‘The Pink Noise’, Shunkan are ready to unveil an equally heavy - yet, this time on heart - second helping of their debut album with "Paleontologist".
 
The lo-fi dust from their sell-out debut 'Honey Milk and Blood' EP – critically-acclaimed by NME, DIY, Brooklyn Vegan and bloggers worldwide – has been truly blown away with big guitars, big drums, and even bigger choruses as Shunkan transformed itself from the bedroom project of 21-year-old LA-born (but NZ based) Marina Sakimoto to an unmistakably natural full band affair.
 
With the sessions recorded in Lyttleton, Christchurch NZ, Sakimoto says of the record “the inspiration was honesty and clarity, and the struggle of keeping your demons at bay. The lyrics are vulnerable and straight forward with hints of abstract imagery and setting.”
 
’The Pink Noise' will be released via a limited run of pink 12” records on November 20th. Available for pre-order now from http://artishardrecords.limitedrun.com/categories/pink-noise

Original Girl

Loin de tes yeux
J'ai rêvé d'un mirage
Sans toi j'ai nulle part où aller
En voyage, quand je vois les oiseaux s'envoler
J'ai besoin de toi. 
Reste là sans bouger

Jour après jour
le temps passe 
et s'efface
ah ah ah ah

Jour après jour
le temps passe 
et s'efface
ah ah ah ah 

Loin de tes yeux
J'ai rêvé d'un mirage
Sans toi j'ai nulle part où aller
En voyage, quand je vois les oiseaux s'envoler
J'ai besoin de toi. 
Reste là sans bouger

Lyrics:
I wanted to be unknown, a stumbler into the fog
The path drew shy of complete, an ankle deep into the bog
I wondered, if you’d be there, laughing aloud, smug in despair
slump backward, in unison, I’ll harbour you, and lay you bare

love you, forever, dropped the ball, pick it up
phantom, in ether, everyones watching

love you, forever. have the gall, take the fall. phantom, in ether. everyones watching.

buckle up, and dive on down, don’t fear the fear you haven’t found

Phantom Mantra
