Acid Elephant - Solar Caravan (2017)
It's been a while since we've checked
in on Acid Elephant, but in the years since their last studio album,
Star Collider, they've
continued outputting live material at a fairly steady rate. Solar
Caravan is the latest recording
to capture the group in their live setting, and over the course of
its three tracks, they show that they've been hard at work growing
their heavy psych power. Massive riffs, rumbling bass, crashing
drums, tight grooves, and enough distortion to make your head swim;
they've got them all, with the grit and grime to tar your speakers
into suitable earthiness. While all the songs are great, the
show-stealer is undoubtedly “Radien”, a ~22-minute burner that
smokes its way through a few dozen turns in structure, developing a
sinister but still psychedelic haze of resonance and tone. As one
big EP, it's a fun trip, and Acid Elephant's continued workshopping
of their material should keep fans eager for the next full studio
effort to arrive.
