Jammerzine Exclusive: An Interview with Chuck Wright + ‘Chuck Wright’s Sheltering Sky’ Album 3 days ago
ShareTweet Elevant are the thunderous genre absorbers heading the Loner Noise label.Since their formation in 2014 they’ve fused a host of disparate influences into a sound that can be dark and atmospheric, heavy and crushing or irresistibly grooving. The trio sounds far vaster than the sum of their parts. Anchored by Tom Shand’s pummelling Bonham-esque beats and Hannah Lodge’s interlocking bassline weaves, lead singer Michael Edward’s lung bursting Chris Cornell-style lead vocals and bludgeoning guitar work make them sound like a six piece. After releasing three albums through their own label, the last of which “There is a Tide” was received with unanimous critical acclaim, Elevant are back with a new EP. This new EP was recorded at Abbey Road by Sam Jones and mastered by Pete Maher (Jack Jones/Scissor Sisters/U2) Taking the listener on a cerebral journey into the complexities of love, war, disillusion and displacement, the EP encompasses a wide range of influences; the grunge/post hardcore style of loud/quiet (Nirvana/Soundgarden/Fugazi), the looped drum grooves of trip hop and krautrock (Portishead/Can), the guitar textures of pyschedelia and shoegaze (My Bloody Valentine) and the jazzier chord styles of artists like Steely Dan and Prince. Normal Life EP is released on May 19, 2017. Tour Dates: 4/1 – Thresholfd Festival, Liverpool – District with Hey Colossus + more 4/22 – Wrong Festival, Liverpool – Invisible Wind Factory with Bo Ningen, The Wytches, Part Chimp, Heck, Evil Blizzard + more 5/14 – The Jericho Tavern with Slate Hearts, Holy Moments 5/15 – London – The Black Heart with Alpha Maid, Mad King Ludwig & The Mojo Co. 6/22 – Chester Live Festival, Chester – The Live Rooms LINKS: https://elevantband.com https://elevant.bandcamp.com https://www.facebook.com/Elevantmusik https://www.instagram.com/elevantmusik Comments
