Songs of May 2020

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.

Lyrics:

Last night I tried to call you on your telephone
You’re always asking me why I spend all of my time alone
After a couple of rings there’s a violent tone
And it echoes into the night, bouncing back off the ice

We could be lovers, you know
But we don’t need each other , like that
We could breathe new life into old lives
We could paint new colours into old fires

Barely 15 Minutes pass and I can feel this pulse
Like a beacon from a lighthouse turning me away from the land
Could it be you and you feel the same way I do
Could it be true or am I stuck in the blue and blue

Still I’m paralysed with fear and anticipation 
I don’t think we’ll make the year and I don’t think I could take the scare
Of losing you in every way, so I let those rings swing and feedback till forever ever ever...

We could be lovers, you know
But we don’t need each other , like that
We could breathe new life into old lives
We could paint new colours into old fires

Our Love Has No Rhythm

New single from Lowpines. Released to coincide with a UK wide tour with Benjamin Francis Leftwich.

This single was recorded in Brooklyn during a break between tours, self-produced by Lowpines.

Lyrics:

Full of distraction
Troubles untold
Wearing that sadness 
In the folds of My clothes  
You didn’t see it 
Or maybe you did 
It’s not like I tried all that hard 
To keep it hid
  
You ask me to build  
While the world stands still  
I am willing but I don’t know how 
Let cold winds blow 
Til the snow blocks the road 
I will follow in the  Path of the plough  

Pressed to the window 
Face to the glass 
Trying to listen for the trains 
As they pass 
They sing through the branches
Whales in the night 
And shots in the distance keep 
Trying to change my mind  
You ask me to build  
While the world stands still  
I am willing but I don’t know how 
Let cold winds blow 
Til the snow blocks the road 
I will follow in the 
Path of the plough

Peace Out

Produced by David Pye.

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

We are not music snobs. We prefer music connoisseurs.
