Elephant Stone UK release of The Glass Box EP and The Seven Seas
Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Elephant Stone arrived on the scene last year, and their debut album, ‘The Seven Seas’ immediately won a nomination for Canada’s Polaris music prize. The band were formed by Rishi Dhir, formerly of highly rated psychedelic pop outfit The High Dials, who won a dedicated fanbase among the lysergic music community.
Dhir, a multi-instrumentalist, studied Indian classical music for three years after leaving The High Dials in 2006, and the influence is evident on this pop-psych meisterwerk. His sitar playing can also be heard on records by The Black Angels, who dedicated a song to him (‘Deer-Ree-Shee’) on their classic ‘Directions To See A Ghost’ album, and prog-psychsters The Earlies.
The boys have recently completed a very successful tour of North American, supporting friends the Brian Jonestown Massacre, and arrive in the UK for a mini tour on June 30th, before heading onto Germany and France and then returning home to support Besnard Lakes in a series of summer shows.
The Glass Box EP and The Seven Seas is out on 27th June 2010.
