I would love to blog this over my YouTube and FB. Willing to pass a download? Send me a message if your interested! Really nice stuff here.

Love it sooooo much! Let me know when you have an EP or full length released. I write articles for TheRooster.ca and want to share your stuff. 

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.

outside, you don't know why
tell each other in the middle of the night
talk about it like you really want to know 
what she running around for?

rat-tat the door unlatch
someone here to take you back
outside in the middle of the street
are you getting what you need?

thoughts of you 
running through my mind
open door but it doesn't feel right 
you look at me as if you know what it's like 
in the shadows of the streetlight

now i know 
I can't go back
you're with her and she doesn't deserve that
but when I look into your eyes
you see something I'm trying to hide 

thoughts of you 
running through my mind
open door but it doesn't feel right 
you look at me as if you know what it's like 
in the shadows of the streetlight
shadow, why's it a shame for me to love?

Picture You Staring

Outside

TOPS "Outside"

The revival of 80s post-punk and British indie music is slowly but surely making waves again. Modern bands like Interpol, Radio 4, Astral, and The Stills are infusing their alternative music with a fresh take on the sounds of the 80s. The influence of iconic bands such as The Smiths, Suicide, Joy Division, and The Cure is once again in vogue. Joining this resurgence is Sweden's latest export, The Search, who prove with their debut album that you don't need to be noisy or extravagant to make an impact.

Drawing inspiration from the likes of The Cure, Joy Division, and Sad Lovers & Giants, The Search crafts a sound that melds crisp, wavy guitar lines with a classic rhythmic foundation of bass, drums, and keys. Their unique blend of prog and post-punk creates a listening experience that is both captivating and endlessly replayable. The album stands out with its powerful bass and synthesizer elements, setting The Search apart from their contemporaries.

This album delivers a solid post-punk vibe, building to an exhilarating climax before gently fading out. Don’t miss the chance to experience this remarkable release!
