Paracosm

It All Feels Right

Washed Out - It All Feels Right

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.

Aloha - Signal Drift

Mr. Quiche

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

Maintain

Low Blow

Lyrics:

i wanna show you my vision
i think ya already know
theres a place that were going 
you can even go alone

you gotta make a decision 
ya gotta let it all go
don’t have to feel like your paralyzed
so baby take control

wrapped up 
in a feeling
locked up
in my head all the time

if you wanna real connection
if you wanna feel alive
gotta get out on the dance floor 
and boogie all the time
if you wanna change direction
if you wanna stay alive
gotta leave your way of thinking 
gotta boogie sometimes

wrapped up
in a feeling
locked up
in my head all the time X2

You don’t have to be lonely 
i think we’ll make it there soon
won’t you wipe of those crying eyes
theres more then tears in you
could you ever believe me 
is it to good to be true
i know you think that its dangerous
but babe just break thru

wrapped up
in a feeling
locked up
in my head all the time X2
