At the center of Montreal’s Elephant Stone is Rishi Dhir, a songwriter and sitarist who has spent twenty years blurring the lines between Western psych-pop and Indian classical tradition. What began in 2006 as a quest for transcendental sound has evolved into a singular, self-contained vision. Operating out of his Montreal home studio, Sacred Sound, Dhir has emerged as a true studio auteur—producing, engineering, and mixing the band’s increasingly complex and cinematic output.
While the band’s reputation was built on airtight pop craftsmanship and spiritual exploration, their recent work—anchored by longtime members Miles Dupire, Robbie MacArthur, and Jason Kent—possesses a new, raw intensity. It is a sound forged through Dhir’s deep collaborative history with icons like The Black Angels, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Beck, as well as his role in the psych-supergroup MIEN.
With a discography spanning 10 acclaimed releases, Elephant Stone remains at the forefront of the modern movement, constantly deconstructing the past to find something visceral, haunting, and undeniably human in the present.

Berlin’s psychedelic outfit Sacred Buzz will present their debut self-titled album, out October 9 on Sound Effect Records. Showcasing their turn to a more expansive sound and exploration of new ideas and spaces, the band will unleash the full force of their fuzz-drenched, groove-locked dimensions.
Sacred Buzz's self-titled debut LP explores the nature of reality through sci-fi and philosophical ideas, woven together with cinematic twists and vivid imagery. Surreal lyrics emerge from an echoing voice, keeping you suspended while the locked-in krautrock groove of bass and drums anchors your body to the earth. Raw, reverberating guitars laced with fuzz paint intricate patterns across the mind, while droning organ textures provide an underlying ambience that completes Sacred Buzz's sonic palette.
