Limited edition DIGI pack CD kiadvány, 2024.
The seed for ELEPHANT TREE was planted in a rehearsal space in the back alleys of England’s sleepless capital of London in 2013. There, the first notes of what would become the song „Attack of the Altaica” sprang from the bass of Jack Townley and Sam Hart‘s drums. Thus, it is only fitting that this earliest demo became the opening track of the band’s new rarities collection „Handful of Ten”, which features all-new songs alongside early demos, alternate versions and never-released tracks.
The infectious blend of warm, syrupy fuzz and soaring vocal harmonies on ‘Attack of the Altaica’ soon led to a contract with Magnetic Eye Records and the debut full-length „Theia” was released in September 2014. The debut album received an excellent reception by critics and fans alike.
The hardworking Englishmen did not rest on their laurels, and in 2015 followed up with the self-titled sophomore full-length „Elephant Tree”. ELEPHANT TREE’s decision to try a label closer to home ultimately did not work out as the new label ran into trouble, which left the band’s third and latest album „Habits” (2020) without the ongoing support it deserved.
In celebration of 10 years since the release of „Theia”, ELEPHANT TREE are reissuing the acclaimed „Habits” via Magnetic Eye to make it widely available again and to satisfy the continued demand. At the same time, „Theia” is now reissued as „Theia” (Anniversary Edition), with the music of this milestone release untouched, but the artwork given a refreshing inversion and a wealth of rare photos, liner notes and lyrics added to provide a thorough vision of the band’s first decade.
Looking back at ten most exciting years, ELEPHANT TREE enthusiastically present „Handful of Ten” with brilliant tunes from their archive alongside brash and blistering new tracks, ready to delight longtime followers and win over new friends to their unique brand of melodic doom.
