Elephant Stone Return with Lost In a Dream

Having dropped a few of their more exploratory pieces already this year with the Dawn, Day, Dusk EP/Single, Elephant Stone is continuing their path through the forest of psychedelia. Listeners get pulled in quickly by the snappy drum work; it’s propulsive in nature, thus providing the guitars plenty of space to move in and out of the dreamier realms. Velvety vocals were prescribed, but as much as I love them through the verses, there’s a really striking moment at 1:20, shining a ray of sunshine right into your ears that completely melted me. I’m continuously impressed by the band’s ability to grow and turn back on themselves some 14 years into their career, consistently carving their own path in this musical realm.
