Elephant Stone

Sobre

Since 2009, Montreal’s Elephant Stone has established itself as a vanguard in the psych-pop universe. Under the guidance of Rishi Dhir, the band has ceaselessly pushed the boundaries of musical storytelling. Dhir&#39;s sitar skills enrich the band&#39;s sound, turning compositions into deep meditations on loss and existential wonder. Their 2009 Polaris Music Prize long-listed debut, "The Seven Seas," was influenced by Dhir&#39;s spiritual travels in India. In 2010, "The Glass Box" EP showcased power pop vibes echoing Big Star. Their 2013 self-titled album brought psychedelic rock to the fore. "The Three Poisons" (2014) took a darker turn, influenced by Buddhist teachings. 2016 saw the synth-infused "Ship of Fools," while "Hollow" (2020) depicted a world on edge. Their 2022 GAMIQ-winning French EP “Le Voyage de M. Lonely dans la Lune” mirrored our own pandemic-era reality. "Back Into the Dream" (2024) delivered a union of ethereal and tangible realms.
