Formed in 2009 Montreal based psychpop band ELEPHANT STONE<\/strong> effortlessly combine Western psychedelia with traditional Indian instruments such as the sitar, tabla and dilruba to create their own unique blend of psychedelic music that can be both hypnotic and danceable – setting themselves apart from their contemporaries in a time when the term \u2018Psychedelic Rock\u2019 can be easily applied to bands in this modern era. With influences in 60\u2019s psychedelia and 90\u2019s shoegaze ELEPHANT STONE<\/strong> can be both spiritual and political in parts while also not being afraid to tackle modern day social and political issues by subtly combining these issues into their upcoming release Hollow<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
