Elephant Stone: Le Voyage De M. Lonely Dans La Lune

Posted on the 17 February 2022 by Hctf @hctf

Canadian psychedelic raga band Elephant Stone choose to use the second language on their country for their new EP, Le voyage de M. Lonely dans la lune. It is a mini rock opera in four parts, telling the tale of a single man trying to survive amidst a catastrophe, holing up like a hermit and wondering where to go next.

Band leader Rishi Dhir's love for Sci-Fi is a guarantee for a consistent story arc, but he leaves plenty of space (no pun intended) for the listener's imagination. The main theme is rather bleak, but it is served in full-colour, with each band member adding to an intricate tapestry of sounds and licks.

Elephant Stone:
Rishi Dhir: vocals, bass, sitar, synths, guitar, percussion
Miles Dupire-Gagnon: drums
Jason Kent: guitare, keyboards, vocals
Robbie MacArthur: guitar

Le voyage de M. Lonely dans la lune is released on their own label Elephants On Parade on February 18. The orange + green splattered vinyl version is available for preorder here.
