The members of the group have a strong history in bands like Bigbang,. Shining, Motorpsycho and Supersilent, but it's within the constellation. Elephant9 that these four musicians have been given the ultimate playground.
To showcase their eclectic tastes and musical abilities.
Through Torstein Lofthus' thunderous and hazardous drumming, bass player
Nikolai Hængsle's steady, thumping timekeeping, keyboardist and organ
player Ståle Storløkken's rich and uncompromising layers- 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 pushes the envelope,
which has made music journalists dig deep for fitting descriptions. The circular
melodic themes of Tangerine Dream have been mentioned, so has the blazing,
phasing world of Jimi Hendrix. Other reviewers have namedropped John
Coltrane, Deep Purple, Soft Machine, King Crimson and Fela Kuti - all artists
who have in common that they disregarded the rules 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 chaotic time for music - where technology
seems to have made people abandon tired descriptions and referenser with open arms.
