After their widely acclaimed debut, “Big Thing” (2022), and media praise from Dutch tastemakers such as 3FM, 3voor12, and de Volkskrant, the four guys who make up Elephant kept their feet on the ground. Equipped with irresistible guitar licks, lyrics, a sympathetic understatement, and a thoroughly relaxed mood, the band from Rotterdam deliver a great summer soundtrack for long car rides with the window rolled down or for a day at the lake with your best friends. Elephant have taken what worked so well on their debut to perfection with their latest album, “Shooting For The Moon” (2023). Folk and indie rock cuddle up together in the cornfield and quickly make you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life while occasionally spouting a hefty dose of social criticism. Certainly worth more than one listen for fans of Andy Shauf, The Feelies, or Wilco.
