Musically, the Human Elephant is not that hard to describe, for it clearly follows the lines of some great indie rock acts from the past, bands that shall remain nameless to avoid the pit trap of obviousness… and does so without itself falling into the boredom of mere homage (i.e. theft). So about the music,.....top notch and quite memorable in their own right. Lyrically though, it’s a whole different story. A whole different, slippery and challenging story. The tone is just unique, there’s not an easy generic tree from where to hang it. It seems to be weirdly balanced for rich ambiguous effect, balanced way up high… or way down below.
