Elephant Stone - Sophomore LP

There is so much grooviness coming from this East meets West psych band I think George Harrsion is smiling ear to ear. Expansive, daring and absolutely essential listening!
Montreal’s Elephant Stone was formed in 2009 by sitarist/bassist Rishi Dhir. As one of the most highly sought out sitar players in the psychedelic music scene, he has recorded and toured with the Black Angels, Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Horrors, the Soundtrack of Our Lives, and many more.
2013 has seen the band release their sophomore long-player, perform at both SXSW and the Austin Psych Fest, as well as tour North America with both the Zombies and the Black Angels.
