<p>With a remarkable journey spanning 15 years, Elephant Stone has established itself as a vanguard in the psych-pop universe. Under the inspired leadership of Rishi Dhir, the band has ceaselessly pushed the boundaries of musical storytelling. Fueled by Dhir's initial forays into music and elevated by his virtuosity on the sitar, Elephant Stone's compositions transcend mere melodies; they serve as profound meditations on loss, rebirth, and existential wonder.</p><p>Their 2009 Polaris Music Prize long-listed debut, "The Seven Seas," was influenced by Dhir's spiritual travels in India. In 2010, "The Glass Box" EP showcased power pop vibes echoing Big Star. Their 2013 self-titled album brought psychedelic rock to the fore. "The Three Poisons" (2014) took a darker turn, influenced by Buddhist teachings. 2016 saw the synth-infused "Ship of Fools," while "Hollow" (2020) depicted a world on edge. Their 2022 GAMIQ-winning French EP “Le Voyage de M. Lonely dans la Lune” mirrored our own pandemic-era reality. In 2024, "Back Into the Dream" offered a fantastical voyage through ethereal dreamscapes and introspective quests, further evolving their sound and narrative depth.</p><p>In celebration of their journey, the band is releasing a 15th anniversary deluxe edition of their debut album "The Seven Seas," rekindling the magic that first captivated audiences.</p><p>Praise from international critics and collaborations with industry giants such as Beck and The Brian Jonestown Massacre have affirmed Elephant Stone's standing as a unique powerhouse in musical creativity and emotional depth. Echoing this sentiment, Dhir insightfully remarks, "As long as there's Rishi, there's Elephant Stone." Embark on an enthralling journey with them, where celestial visions and grounded realities converge in a captivating harmony.</p><iframe-embed src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bWhRCtZD4Vc?si=KFfrPRwOZCdyTNrg" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="true" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" height="315" width="560" style="" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>
