Elephone's music has been bubbling in the trenches of rock parables, playing prominent spots at Austin's SXSW, San Francisco's Noise Pop Festival and the Live 105 studios, and sharing the stage with the likes of Rogue Wave, The Dandy Warhols, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Stills, The Kills, and The Posies. Sonically, their collective, multi-vocal pop lands somewhere between The Talking Heads and The Arcade Fire.Elephone's forthcoming release, Canister, provides the listener with more hooks than ever before. While singer Ryan Lambert controlled vocal duties on previous records, the new album features the addition of singer and keyboardist Sierra Frost. The result is a playful mixture of dark, haunting male vocals and sweet, spunky female vocals - Lambert is the coffee and Frost is the sugar and cream.
Canister is due in stores on July 15th. The Deli Magazine declared, "If this band doesn't continue to increase in popularity, I may lose my faith in the system"; I'd have to agree, the EP is great! Highly recommended.
