So it was little under a year ago that the mighty ELEPHANT TREE turned up with the cracking release ‘Theia’ and it was such a refreshing turn up in a scene that is getting ever filled with sound-a-like bands. Featuring Pete Holland from Trippy Wicked there was definitely a Sludgy vibe to the band especially where bass is concerned but with the beautiful harmonies and use of interesting instruments like the Sitar it was a welcomed addition to the London scene.

I am happy to report that their first full release has surpassed my expectations and what we have here a a collection of songs that are both some of the heaviest fuzz-laden tunes I have heard in a long time but at the same time its the most calming and relaxed albums in equal measure! It truly is a masterpiece and with ex member Riley taking up recording duties on this one I think it has a lot to do with his work as to why the production is near perfect for the band. The song that most proves what I say is ‘Apohotic Blues’ which starts so very trippy and ends as a bone crushingly heavy opus that I cannot wait to hear live again.

And that shall not be too long either as they have just been announced on the Friday of our Final ever Summer Sizzler, Top work gents and roll on July!
