Europese tour Elephant Stone

De Canadese psych pop band Elephant Stone kondigt een Europese tour aan. Tijdens deze shows zal het nieuwe album Ship of Fools worden gepresenteerd. Ship of Fools is het vierde studioalbum van de band.
Andromeda is de nieuwe single van het drietal. Voorman Rishi Dhir zegt hierover: “Around Jan 2015, NASA released images of the Andromeda galaxy taken by the Hubble telescope. I was deep in the writing for Ship of Fools and was scouring the net for inspiration. I came upon an article in a Science magazine describing what can be seen from the photograph…. there were lines describing the stars as “grains of sand from a wizard’s hand” (or something like that). Anyhow, I found the article very poetic and inspiring. Pair this with the fact that my musical obsession at the time was Air’s soundtrack for the color reissue of “Le voyage dans la lune” and I was working with the imagery of Bosch’s “Ship of Fools”. So, there’s a lot in this song that may not be so obvious. The icing on the cake, though, was that NASA had also just released via Soundcloud a library of audio recordings (copyright free!!!). So, I downloaded some of the tracks and added them to the outro. It’s all very pop art.” Bekijk de video van Andromeda hier onder.

30 nov – Paradiso, Amsterdam
02 dec – Trix bar, Antwerp
