Elephant Revival

“Inspired by bluegrass, fiddle music, Appalachian folk and even hip-hop…Elephant Revival is one of the finest of the young crop of folk artists touring today, and long do I foresee the career of these five unfolding.” —The Huffington Post

Break in the Clouds, the anticipated sophomore album from acclaimed indie acoustic quintet Elephant Revival will be released June 14 on Ruff Shod/Nettwerk Records. This is the follow-up to the Colorado-based band’s celebrated 2008 self-titled debut, which THISisMODERN lauded as, “unlike any other…their debut makes a statement about originality and musicality that is bold and adventurous.” Break in the Clouds is also already receiving critical attention—the Boulder Weekly declares, “The album brims with poised folk ballads, modern Celtic fiddle dirges, hints of blues and Appalachia…coaxing the spirit but slyly avoiding climbing fully into each form’s body.” In support of the new album, the band will tour throughout this spring and summer, including appearances at Desert Rocks Music Festival, High Sierra Music Festival and the Oregon Country Fair. See below for more details and complete tour schedule.

Nederland, Colorado transcendental folk group Elephant Revival is excited to announce the release of their second studio album, Break in the Clouds, on November 22 on Ruff Shod Records (the indie label headed by Chad Stokes of State Radio/Dispatch). The album is produced by David Tiller of Taarka and expands upon the group’s multi–genre musical approach, threading together dynamic instrumentation and a diverse rhythmic sound while exploring the depths of all five of the groups’ gifted songwriters.

To celebrate the release of Break in the Clouds, a series of In-Store performances and meet and greets are scheduled along the Front Range in Colorado at the end of November and early December. A full national release of the album is scheduled for January 1, 2011, with upcoming tour dates to be announced.
