Details:
Elephant vs Leopard was formed during a particularly horrible summer in 2006 in the back room of a shed on a farm near Peterborough by Sam Warren (bass) and Mike Freedman (drums). The intention was to strip away the artifice and self- conscious musicianship of previous projects, focusing instead on simply playing as honestly and loudly as possible. Spike (vocals) joined the band at the end of 2007 and the three-piece began putting the finishing touches to their debut release, Safariland. The album was recorded over the course of three days at The Hatch in Worcestershire, a remote studio with no phone reception or flushing toilets. The end result is ferocious yet beautiful, a heartfelt, violent explosion of direct, unfiltered, unapologetic sentiment. The bone-rattling metallic bass and drums combo leaves plenty of room for Spike's lyrics which howl out in fury, bursting with dismay and disgust. EvL will leave you in a panic, wondering who you are while you pick your jaw up off the floor. The album was mastered by Alan Douches (rhymes with couches), also responsible for albums by Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan and Dysrhythmia. The cover features exclusive artwork by Rugman, the renowned London street artist.
