Elephant live in London, UK

ELEPHANT - It takes hard work for a band to appear as carefree and unbothered as Elephant does on Shooting for the Moon. After their acclaimed debut Big Thing (2022), the follow-up sees the Rotterdam based indie band confronting their own cynicism – armed with irresistible guitar licks, steadfast nonchalance, and lyrics that paint the everyday in an ever-so-slightly more magical light. The summer sun shines brightly in the faces of these four friends who have no choice but to embrace. Because for them, nothing’s more bold than being easy-going and optimistic.

With a sold out nationwide tour, plenty of airplay, and having been handed the honorific title of ‘Emerging Artist’ by prestigious Dutch media like 3FM, 3voor12, and de Volkskrant, you could say Elephant has the wind at their back. As such, Shooting for the Moon has become quite a hopeful record, for which the band called in Flemish singer-songwriter Meskerem Mees and producer Pablo van de Poel (DeWolff), though the group very much remains its own driving force. Having spend many years as sidemen in other people’s projects, the four of them are elated to have the rehearsal space all to themselves now.
