Elephant Island returns! 10 new songs!
More thoroughly engaging indie-folk that defies description. (We've asked professionals and they say things like “Tim Buckley,” so thanks for that.)
Themes of family entanglement, doubt and desire. Warm and cozy desperation. The band's most accomplished, hi-fi and “upbeat” record to date!
$10 + $5 shipping (Canadian dollars).
Here are some sample songs to share with your friends.
Elephant Island’s second album has 13 beautiful and unusual songs in an indie rock-folk-pop vein, all for you!
Mood, harmonies, and the focussed arrangement of many instruments, wrapped up in a much more hi-fi bundle than the previous release.
$10 + $5 shipping (Canadian dollars).
Here are some sample songs to share with your friends.
Several songs feature new member Marc Jenkins on pedal steel guitar and guest Nathan Gage (Shapes and Sizes) on bass.
See news about this album in the blog.
Four fine musicians labour at the intersection of cosy and experimental to bring you these six original compositions.
Originally recorded in the fall of 2003, official release had to wait for Galen to get back from galavanting in Europe. Feast your ears on these sample songs:
