New Music: Elephant- Elusive Youth

One of our favourite bands on the blog, Elephant, keep churning out great new music on their way releasing their debut LP.  No details of a release date for their new record yet, but we are crossing our fingers for the spring. Their newest song "Elusive Youth" is more twee than the swooning dream pop of their previous singles and reminds of great bands like Camera Obscura or the Concretes. Listen below:

New Music: Elephant- Snowday

The title of this song takes me back to my childhood where I had fond memories of waking up on some winter mornings, looking out the window, and finding a fresh blanket of whiteness on the ground. There would be a bit of anticipation before you turned on the radio, but then the DJ would make the announcement; school was closed and it was officially a snow day.

Elephant transform the happy feeling of that moment into their songs and maybe that is why they named their latest "Snowday". The track is the B- side to "Shapeshifter",  an another excellent song that was featured a couple of weeks ago on the blog.

Really hoping a new album is in the works for 2014 from these guys.

New Music: Elephant- Shapeshifter

Last February we were introduced to London indie pop duo Elephant via their masterful, soaring song "Skyscraper". After a quiet few months the couple have just come out with their latest track "Shapeshifter", a song where singer Amelia Rivera commands "take me to your room" despite the fact she is in a bad relationship. The song has an air of nostalgia that is paired with modern day dream pop. Listen below:

New Music: Elephant- Skyscraper

Elephant singer Amelia Rivera sounds like her voice is soaring to the sky in the appropriately named Skyscraper from the duo's upcoming debut album. The couple of Rivera and Christian Pinchbeck are seemingly starting over after a break up in 2012, and it sounds like the chemistry between the two have returned as well. Think Beach House if they were fronted by Madeline Follin instead of Victoria Legrand and you have the gist of this song. Listen and/or download below:
