Elephant Stone - The Seven Seas mp3 download

Elephant Stone do something that no one else does, they have a quality that’s nearly impossible to define, and a presentation that’s timeless. Sure ... it would be easy to point to Rishi Dhir’s sitar as a defining element, an aspect that’s interwoven throughout the songs, but it’s more than that, it’s the interlacing of layered acoustic and jangling Rickenbacker guitars, along with well constructed lyrics and great harmonies that are so alluring, warm, and sensuous. Elephant Stone come at psychedelic music jut a bit off center, never swooping in to grab hold of you ... rather gently entwining the listener with a trippy modern day stoner bliss that’s exactly what you want to hear at any given moment. Surprisingly the songs seem longer than they actually are, and without the use of sonic wanderings, or extended solos, you may quickly be remind of The Rolling Stones’ “Their Satanic Majesties Request,” where the fab five treated us to one of the finest bits of garage/pop psych music to ever grace my turntable.And on that note I’ll simply say, Elephant Stone are very original, a considered culmination of everything that has passed before them, and to my way of thinking ... that’s a righteous place to be.Review by Jenell Kesler
