I fell in love with your sound in 2012 or 2013 when I first heard Heavy Moon. I think it might've been on NPR all songs considered or maybe I just heard it on KTRU Houston.
Thank you for sharing your talent. I have all your albums in my Apple Music. You definitely have a heart full of soul.! 😉
I remember the first time I had heard an Elephant Stone song was “Andromeda” back in 2014. I was driving home from work when it popped up on the Chansons station during their mid-afternoon indie bands segment on Sirius satellite radio. Loved that song from the first listen but lost track of your band because I had nothing to write with in the car that day (and there’s so many bands where “Elephant” was part of the name) I had found the song again, roughly 5 years later on Youtube and started doing a deep dive on the music because that’s just what I do when I like a song and want to find out a band’s history and musical output.
The sitar was a welcome surprise on subsequent albums, and I became hooked (*my parents had Ravi Shankar & Beatles albums). I think it brings a very unique quality to your sound without it being a novelty, and it’s used only when the songs call for it.
I was psyched post Covid lockdown Elephant Stone toured again and we drove a few hours south to Connecticut to Club 9 and a couple of years later ES played a theater in Somerville MA (not far from home) It was great to see the audiences really connect with your sound.
Elephant Stone is definitely one of my favorite indie bands from Canada (along with Corridor, No Joy, and Godspeed You Black Emperor)

Looking forward to the new album!
Thanks for this, Linda!
