Elephan t9 - NOR | Rune Grammofon

https://elephant9band.bandcamp.com/

Genre: E xperimental Prog Fusion Powertrio

For Fans Of: Mahavishnu Orchestra, Motorpsycho, Jaga Jazzist, ELP

E9 are:

Stale Storløkken (Supe rsilent, worked with Motorpsycho, Krokofant etc.)

Torstein Lofthus ( ex-SHINING, Member of Mathias Eick Quintet, etc.)

Nikolai Hængsle (B ig Bang, Møster, Needlepoint, etc.)

Elephant9 (established 2006 in O slo, Norway) is a Norwegian progressive/neo-psychedelic/jazz-rock trio whi ch formed in 2006 under the name Storløkken/Eilertsen/Lofthus, for the mem bers of the band, namely Ståle Storløkken (keyboard), Nikolai Eilertsen (b ass) and Torstein Lofthus (drums).

The members of the group have a s trong history in bands like Bigbang, Shining, Motorpsycho and Supersilent, but it’s within the constellation Elephant9 that these three musicians ha ve been given the ultimate playground to showcase their eclectic tastes an d musical abilities.

Through Torstein Lofthus’ thunderous and hazard ous drumming, bass player Nikolai Hængsle’s steady, thumping timekeeping, keyboardist and organ player Ståle Storløkken’s rich and uncompromising la yers– they give you sounds and rhythm structures that have made grown men and women cry and laugh in joy. Elephant9 find inspiration in music that p ushes the envelope, which has made music journalists dig deep for fitting descriptions. The circular melodic themes of Tangerine Dream have been men tioned, so has the blazing, phasing world of Jimi Hendrix. Other reviewers have namedropped John Coltrane, Deep Purple, Soft Machine, King Crimson a nd Fela Kuti – all artists who have in common that they disregarded the ru les and have stood the test of time because of that. Still, Elephant9 feel no desire in being regarded as “retro”, as they venture into a new chaoti c time for music - where technology seems to have made people abandon tire d descriptions and references – with open arms.
