ELEPHANT STONE
With a remarkable journey spanning 15 years, Elephant Stone has established itself as a vanguard in the psych-pop universe. Under the inspired leadership of Rishi Dhir, the band has ceaselessly pushed the boundaries of musical storytelling. Fueled by Dhir's initial forays into music and elevated by his virtuosity on the sitar, Elephant Stone's compositions transcend mere melodies; they serve as profound meditations on loss, rebirth, and existential wonder.
THE ASTEROID NO. 4
The Asteroid No.4 is an American shoegaze, dream pop and psychedelic band based in Northern California. Originally formed in Philadelphia in the late 1990s, the A4 have remained an active studio and live act, and are considered to be stalwarts of the modern “psych”genre. Known for their prolific discography of reverb-drenched recordings and guitar driven, liquid-projected live performances, the band is often categorized as “neo-psychedelic” or “shoegaze”. Happily accepting their often made comparisons to acts like Ride, Spacemen 3 or “Paisley Underground’s”, The Rain Parade; the band have evolved into a sound all their own. In the spring of 2022, the Asteroid No.4 released their 11th full length LP, “Tones of the Sparrow” on London label specializing in “nugaze” acts, Club AC30. European and US tours followed including support slots for Slowdive and The Ocean Blue. In January of 2024 a new 5-song EP was released on Chris Robinson’s (The Black Crowes) label, Silver Arrow Records. The last year consisted of US tours supporting The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Crowes, Beachwood Sparks, and the Ocean Blue followed by a September ‘24 release of their 12th full length record titled “Several Shapes of Solar Flares” (Little Cloud/Club AC30).

With a remarkable journey spanning 15 years, Elephant Stone has established itself as a vanguard in the psych-pop universe. Under the inspired leadership of Rishi Dhir, the band has ceaselessly pushed the boundaries of musical storytelling. Fueled by Dhir's initial forays into music and elevated by his virtuosity on the sitar, Elephant Stone's compositions transcend mere melodies; they serve as profound meditations on loss, rebirth, and existential wonder.
Their 2009 Polaris Music Prize long-listed debut, "The Seven Seas," was influenced by Dhir's spiritual travels in India. In 2010, "The Glass Box" EP showcased power pop vibes echoing Big Star. Their 2013 self-titled album brought psychedelic rock to the fore. "The Three Poisons" (2014) took a darker turn, influenced by Buddhist teachings. 2016 saw the synth-infused "Ship of Fools," while "Hollow" (2020) depicted a world on edge. Their 2022 GAMIQ-winning French EP “Le Voyage de M. Lonely dans la Lune” mirrored our own pandemic-era reality. In 2024, "Back Into the Dream" offered a fantastical voyage through ethereal dreamscapes and introspective quests, further evolving their sound and narrative depth.
In celebration of their journey, the band is releasing a 15th anniversary deluxe edition of their debut album "The Seven Seas," rekindling the magic that first captivated audiences.
Praise from international critics and collaborations with industry giants such as Beck and The Brian Jonestown Massacre have affirmed Elephant Stone's standing as a unique powerhouse in musical creativity and emotional depth. Echoing this sentiment, Dhir insightfully remarks, "As long as there's Rishi, there's Elephant Stone." Embark on an enthralling journey with them, where celestial visions and grounded realities converge in a captivating harmony.
