From album to album, Norwegian Elephant9 show a deep and rich sense of composition and musicality, which is also reflected in the high aesthetics of their cover artwork. This gives us enormous pleasure.

Their previous album “Arrival of The New Elders” presented a more varied and reflective trio, still as groovy as ever, but more structured and less jam oriented, earning them a 9/10 review in Uncut and a spot in their albums of the year list.

“Mythical River” is moulded much in the same way and a natural follow-up, with six stellar new compositions by keyboard maestro Ståle Storløkken, bookended by two cosmic snippets. From the hypnotic and magical to the razor sharp and polyrhythmic, this is yet another very strong group effort from a trio on top of their game. Elephant9 appear as a thoroughly contemporary, timeless and even futuristic sounding band.

“Mythical River” is out 19.04.2024 at Rune Gramofon as black vinyl or limited edition clear viny.
