A dark and catchy four-piece from San Francisco’s
Mission District, Elephone’s dark guitar textures, dynamic
vocals and literary vision have earned them comparisons to Radiohead,
The Arcade Fire and The Cure in local and national press.
Over the course of seven months following the release of ‘The
Shivering EP’ (DIY Or Else), the band went through several
line-up changes. While most bands would lose focus at this point,
elephone took the opportunity to narrow their song writing down
to a basic, concise form. Collaborating with producer and engineer
Chris Cline (...Trail Of Dead) and label owner Daniel Crowell,
the band returned to the studio during the Winter of 2005. The
resulting material - ‘The Camera Behind The Camera Behind
The Camera’ - is significantly more focused, clean, and
melodic.
From the very first stick clicks on ‘Let
Go Of My Arm’, you know that this album is going to be an
upbeat and energetic masterpiece. Intricate, moving, cinematic,
Elephone is defining a sound and movement like other breakaway
artistic acts from Interpol to U2.
Sure to be one of Three Ring's most exciting releases of 2006,
'The Camera...' will not disappoint. Produced by Elephone, Chris
Cline, and Dan Crowell, featuring Hellen Jo (cellist from Scrabbel),
this album starts off with unrelenting, dark hooks and then subsides
to a haunting calm. The buzz is massive and will only grow as
listeners discover this behemoth of a record! Expertly mastered
by the legendary Paul Stubblebine (Joy Division, New Order).
Reviews for The Camera...:
"The Camera Behind The Camera Behind The Camera is an album
that you can sing along to as you are dreaming. Its persistent
dark hooks and choruses make for an interesting listening session."
- Fresno Underground
"Listening to the raucous, tempestuous nine track album
with the long name, it is clear that being the next in San Francisco
is too confining; this might be the next band to rocket forward,
a la The Strokes or The Vines..." - Eric Mertz, Kevchino.com
"...the band displays a remarkable ability to condense its
melodrama into its tightest, catchiest songs yet. Camera more
than one-ups the work of Lambert's Kids Inc. cast mates —
it ranks among the best of the Bay Area's rock scene."
- Jimmy Draper, SF Bay Guardian
"...based on their new material, elephone are well on its
way to earning an enviable position at the forefront of San Francisco's
next wave of bands, alongside Film School, Rogue Wave, and the
Velvet Teen." - Connie Hwong, Performer |
