Product Description
Introduction Elephant Gym, a three-piece band from Taiwan, has gained worldwide acclaim through tours across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. In Japan, they are now one of the most influential Asian indie bands, with a confirmed appearance at Fuji Rock Festival '22. This album, "Dreams," their third and first full album in four years, is, as the title suggests, based on the concept of "dreams." During its creation, they were influenced by many stories and studies related to dreams, and that inspiration is reflected in the songs. This work attempts to deeply approach realms that people are not consciously aware of through their music. The musicality in this album far surpasses the framework of a three-piece band, and the world of "dreams" is created in collaboration with numerous featured artists. The Japanese version features Hiyukone, the vocalist of the already popular band childspot, whose members were all born in 2002. In addition, it features 9m88, one of the most talked-about Taiwanese soul singers in recent years, and Lin Shengxiang, a representative Hakka singer from Taiwan. Furthermore, they don't stick to the typical three-piece band sound, but also incorporate wind instruments and traditional folk instruments. With their unparalleled sense of sophisticated song composition, they embody a wide range of musicality from jazz, indie rock, soul, and film music, creating this work that transcends various genres and boundaries. Close your eyes and listen to this fantastical world of "dreams." Media reviews and more Elephant Gym, one of the most influential Asian indie bands active on the world stage.
