Elephant Stone UK release of The Glass Box EP and The Seven Seas

Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Elephant Stone arrived on the scene last year, and their debut album, ‘The Seven Seas’ immediately won a nomination for Canada’s Polaris music prize. The band were formed by Rishi Dhir, formerly of highly rated psychedelic pop outfit The High Dials, who won a dedicated fanbase among the lysergic music community.

Dhir, a multi-instrumentalist, studied Indian classical music for three years after leaving The High Dials in 2006, and the influence is evident on this pop-psych meisterwerk. His sitar playing can also be heard on records by The Black Angels, who dedicated a song to him (‘Deer-Ree-Shee’) on their classic ‘Directions To See A Ghost’ album, and prog-psychsters The Earlies.

The boys have recently completed a very successful tour of North American, supporting friends the Brian Jonestown Massacre, and arrive in the UK for a mini tour on June 30th, before heading onto Germany and France and then returning home to support Besnard Lakes in a series of summer shows.

The Glass Box EP and The Seven Seas is out on 27th June 2010.

Elephant Stone – Strangers released in UK/Europe on 360degreemusic

The See See ‘Mary Soul’ + Brian Jonestown Massacre tour

Following twelve months which has seen London-based psychedelic popsters The See See, picked by Jack White to support his Raconteurs, on a UK tour,  360 Degree Music are proud to announce that the band have been personally invited by Brian Jonestown Massacre to support them on their forthcoming British tour.

The band, who feature one Swede, an American, one Kiwi and a Yorkshireman, have also released two SOLD OUT 7” singles, most recently ‘Keep Your Head’ / ‘Clap Your Hands And Shake A Chain’ (Great Pop Supplement) in 2009. The band have had airplay from the BBC’s Steve Lamacq, Mark Radcliffe, Stuart Maconie, Tom Robinson and XFM’s John Kennedy.

Although The See See is comprised of former members of groups including The Eighteenth Day Of May, The Soledad Brothers, Grand Cobra and The Waxwings (as well as acclaimed singer-songwriter Pete Greenwood), they’re fundamentally a band made up of four drinking partners, something which adds to the relaxed and unforced nature of the music that they make.

Recorded by Sean Read (The Manic Street Preachers, Seasick Steve), the band’s new single, ‘Mary Soul’ is out now and will be followed by the BJM tour, and then a support slot with Ruby Suns, at London’s Hoxton Bar & Kitchen.
