Synopsis

“... KT’s fluid basslines, Tell’s evocative guitar riffs and Chia-Chin’s unshowy precision have given rise to an expressive and joyous artistic voice.” – NME Asia

 

Conjure new dreams with the kaleidoscopic sounds of acclaimed Taiwanese math-rock trio, Elephant Gym. The band’s latest album, Dreams, features several collaborators that enrich the band’s jazz and funk-influenced sounds, with the inclusion of wind instruments, traditional folk drums and vocal contributions by pop singer 9m88 and Hakka singer-songwriter Lim Sheng Xiang.

 

Having graced the stages of top music festivals like Fuji Rock (Japan) and Pentaport Festival (Korea), Camp Flog Gnaw and SXSW (USA), the trio now returns to Singapore with their latest body of work. Fans can also expect tracks from past releases such as Underwater and Work.

Based in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Elephant Gym comprises siblings KT and Tell alongside drummer Chia-Chin, whom they met in a high school music club. After discovering that they share similar tastes in music, they formed Elephant Gym, solidifying their shared affinity for all varieties of math- and post-rock. The band is known for building soundscapes driven by bass, with distinct jazz and funk influences that translate into their writing style.
