With lots of attractive melody, captivating rhythm and beats and total absence of pretension the trio was shinging brightly. (Henning Bolte, London Jazz Magazine)
Helsinki based Elifantree delivers an experimental musical trip on the border between pop and improvised music. They make songs with a razor sharp blend of social criticism, surrealism and unique sounds dipping into ambient and electroacoustic textures that creates a sound much larger and wider than the sum of their parts. Elifantree has performed widely in Europe and beyond and has gained a strong reputation as an energetic, unrestrained and constantly surprising live act that has been compared to works of artists like David Lynch, Charlie Chaplin and Pablo Picasso. They have released three critically acclaimed albums, Love & Trees in 2010, Time Out in 2012 and Movers and Shakers in 2015 on the Tampere based label Eclipse Music. On their third full-length Movers and Shakers Elifantree developed an increasingly danceable edge to their sound that only reveals the band’s jazz background upon close inspection. Currantely the trio is working on new music.
