The Elephant Room ‘Juniper and Pine’

Dublin based The Elephant Room have released their new single and video ‘Juniper and Pine’.Formed in 2017, The Elephant Room is a Lo-Fi, Indie-noise band composed of Frank, Shane and Ian. Their DIY approach to their music bleeds through to their art work and videos also, with everything being done in-house to create the bizarre, noir world that is The Elephant Room.

‘Juniper and Pine’ is a dreamy indie pop number that elegantly floats upon a soft backdrop with psychedelic hues. A lulling melody drifts softly through chiming wispy soundscapes while velvety vocals coo and echo through the soft beat and jangly guitar. It’s a sweet tranquilizing track that transports you to a hazy utopia filled with laid back tones and mellowed out bliss. The intricate instrumentation is lush yet subtle on the ears creating the most soothing listening experience with some quirky wobbly electronics and distortion glimmering throughout. The track builds to a striking crescendo as the guitars shrill and crush around crashing cymbals and a hypnotic mind dazzling wall of sound. The Elephant Room superbly blend the sweet and sour beautifully as ‘Juniper and Pine’ both pacifies and electrocutes within its striking 9 minute and 31 seconds span. Another captivating track from The Elephant Room.

The Elephant Room ‘Blue Horrors’

The Elephant Room are a three piece band from Wexford, Cork and Louth based in Dublin and have been purveyors of their own genre Alco-Pop since early 2017. As a band they haven’t forgotten about the importance of having a hook. They inject their melodies with lyrics that switch between either abstract word painting or touch on the more dark and honest aspects of human nature. In late 2017 the band recorded an eight track EP in a Studio in Bray and in May 2018 released it across all platforms independently. The band recorded live with very few overdubs attempting to capture the authenticity of the three piece playing together in a room. What little overdubs that were used plays to the bands love of using subtle studio experimentation such as using analog organs and playing autoharp through Lesley speakers. Since their inception they have been regularly gigging the indie scene playing nights such as The New Love & Terror Cult in The Sin É, Gigonometry in the Workmans and The Midnight Hour in Whelans. The band have now released a video for their single ‘Blue Horrors’ which is taken from their ‘Music On The Bones’ EP.

With its hazy dreamy atmosphere creating a euphoric backdrop for the sweet calming melody ‘Blue Horrors’ is a tranquillising creation from The Elephant Room. Light shaky percussion rattles and bounces off a steady beat and psychedelic hued instrumentation while lush backing vocals coo behind creating a little world of soothing bliss. The velvety vocals caress the luscious melody while warm guitars gently stride and playfully weave between the rich percussion. It’s a laid back number that sways and glides with a gentle little spring in its step creating a delightful easy going atmosphere which consumes you in a bubble of euphoric bliss. It’s a sedating soothing gem which develops steadily becoming a little more intense as striking symbols and strong guitar strides increase for the psychedelic- esque crescendo. This compact track is brimming with infectious grooves that are subtle enough to add luscious flavours without becoming overpowering. They maintain a heavenly, floaty vibe with a touch of sweet monotony that is just captivating- leaving you craving more.
