Sunny, melancholy and in a major key. That is the sound of the 4-piece indie band 'Elephant.' The band was born in the year in which a virus almost knocked out the music industry. Against their better judgment but with full dedication, they threw themselves at songwriting. They retreat to their greenhouse studio amidst fields of bok choy and Chinese cabbage, on the outskirts of Rotterdam.

Elephant convinces with its distinctive approach, sound and songs and has been signed by legendary Dutch record label Excelsior Recordings since fall 2021. Their album ‘Big Thing,’ recorded with Pablo van de Poel (DeWolff) in the analogue Electrosaurus Southern Sound Studio will be released in 2022.
 
In early 2021, Elephant already caught the attention with their debut EP, comprising beautiful melodies, subtle grooves and sobering lyrics. It was picked up by Dutch pop journalist Leo Blokhuis (“Something special is happening in Rotterdam”), several songs were added to the playlist of Amazing Radio (UK/US) and the single ‘Midnight in Manhattan’ secured the 12th rank in the Verrukkelijke 15 chart of Dutch national radio.
 
Elephant is marked as the new roots/indie band that just might make a difference in the coming years.

It's real, it's a label, it's artist management, it's a platform, it's complicated, as always... but it's going to be fun. It's AT EASE.
