Hail Voyagers! Our Pick this week calls Montreal, Canada, home: Elephant Stone! Just released this past Monday, Aug. 25th, is their new long-player: The Three Poisons. Out on Hidden Pony.
Together Rishi Dhir, drummer Miles Dupire, and guitarist Gabriel Lampert, have created a mesmerizing follow-up to last year's highly acclaimed eponymous release. We're all watching/listening as the Elephant Stone Sound develops and matures. For those of you who preferred a grittier dynamic within the song structures you'll be richly rewarded on this effort. Gone are the softer, more poppier influences, instead they've opted for a harder edge to the material. Rishi's sitar playing is still at the fore and what sets them apart from so many of their peers. Loud applause from my ears. I think you'll enjoy it quite a lot. Highest recommend.
The band are about to begin a significant tour beginning this Saturday, August 30th, in their home city and taking them across Europe through the Fall: check here.
