Post Description

Lekkere folk uit de Schotse hooglanden, maar wel met een waanzinnige twist. Gewoon even luisteren. Bij mij mogen ze blijven.

Swagger is not a word people usually associate with folk bands, but Elephant Sessions have it in droves. They’ve ramped up the funk for their fourth album, and the results will rock your world. Let’s talk about the elephant in the room.
Hailing from the Highlands of Scotland, they take the high road with their intricate mandolin (Alasdair Taylor) and fiddle (Euan Smillie) tunes and the low road with their drum (Greg Barry) and bass-heavy (Seth Tinsley) backline. For ten years, they have cultivated a formidable live reputation with stunning festival appearances across Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia. Rolling Stone Magazine says, ‘We love them.’ Who are we to disagree?

There’s a lot to love on their latest album, For The Night. It builds on the success of their earlier releases and further embellishes the Scottish trad core with more sweeping synths and funky riffs. Written while we were all in lockdown, dreaming of sweaty nights out or dancing under the moonlight at a music festival, this album is made for summer days and long nights.

They’ve come a long way from the Highlands, musically at least. And this is the best distillation yet of their unique, vibrant musical mash-up of funk, trad and electronica. A captivating brew from start to finish.
