We had the pleasure of interviewing Elephant Stone over Zoom video!
Montreal-based modern psych-pop band Elephant Stone announced their new EP Le voyage de M. Lonely dans la lune, out now via Elephants On Parade.
In Elephant Stone, Dhir has woven stories of loss and grief, existential crisis and rebirth, and a world withering away, all set to elegant, intense droning music. What Dhir knows – and something so many of us can relate to over the past two years – is presented with such clarity on Le voyage de M. Lonely dans la lune. The EP is sung entirely in French, a departure for the English-speaking band. The record is what Dhir calls a “love letter to Montreal, Quebec, and all of our French-speaking fans around the world.” While Dhir, a first generation Indian immigrant with very strong cultural ties to the motherland, was born and raised in Montreal, he’s always had a strong connection with French-speaking friends and fans.
Elephant Stone was born out of a need for refuge for Dhir. After playing in bands such as The Datsons and The High Dials, he picked up the sitar and began writing about personal experiences, leading to a carved out niche in the modern psych-rock genre by infusing it with some pop sensibilities. As a highly-regarded sitar player, Dhir has also collaborated with indie-rock icons like Beck, and legendary cult bands like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels, The Soundtrack of Our Lives, The Dream Syndicate, and many more. Dhir’s journey with music, in and out of Elephant Stone, was wrought with trying to find a place that fit him until he decided that what he made was worth sharing in the space that he created for himself. The best kind of music, and the stories paired with those sounds, often begin with that internal excavation.
