Elephant: Momentum
Amelia Rivas and Christian Pinchbeck don’t just sing about feverish, frayed and fractured romances – in the three years since forming Elephant, they’ve been living one.
It’s fitting that Sky Swimming, their debut full length release is a seductive, night time delight of an album. After all, it was in the twilight hours of a May morning three years ago that Pontefract native Amelia Rivas and Bristolian Christian Pinchbeck met at a house party and in alcohol-soaked all-nighter sessions that Sky Swimming was written.
London duo Elephant have been through heartbreak and broken bones to get this far, and are now releasing their debut album “Sky Swimming”, a seductive, night time delight of an album. Having made their mark with a string of superbly realised singles which clocked up hundreds of thousands of plays on Soundcloud and Youtube, Elephant are delighted that the Momentum grant will allow them the budget to produce fully realised music videos for their upcoming singles Assembly, and Skyscraper, and further hone their unique aesthetic.
