Any more information you would like to tell us?

‘For The Night’ is the eagerly anticipated fourth album from award winning indie-folk band, Elephant Sessions.From humble beginnings in the Highlands of Scotland, to playing around the world, Elephant Sessions are celebrating their 10th year as band in 2022. Creating a progressive blend of intricate tunes, engulfing guitars, with a bass and drum heavy backline, their music combines the very best of trad, funk and electronica, resulting in a new and exciting sound. Since exploding on to the scene, the band have made live appearances at some of the most notable venues and festivals across the U.K, Europe, USA, Canada and Australia, including Glastonbury, Byron Bay Bluesfest, New York Tartan Week, Colours of Ostrava and multiple headline sell-outs at Celtic Connections.
‘For The Night’ promises to build on this success further. The album was written during lockdown and is indicative of the bands desire for summer days and long nights, something very evident in the music, with sweeping synths, funk riffs and tracks reminiscent of sweaty late night festival dance tents, this album is a true fusion of different genres all fused together by the band’s Scottish folk roots.
