The sound of
Rickenbackers under street lights, high above your small town. An LP that glows, harmonies that melt, ‘Dying’,
the saddest, sweetest slice of guitar magic you’ve heard since Joe Pernice
married Norman Blake.
In the
summer of 2005 two of
Scotland’s most inscrutable songwriters disappeared from Tayside streets. A
month later, they returned to their bands, friends and families clutching a
mysterious blue-green vinyl. Now, finally, you can hear what took place over
those four long, hazey weeks.
Heavy Little
Elephants are based on a dream…
In Scotland, underwater, if you dream of pop music, The Beatles, and Air, you get
Heavy Little Elephants. Or if the “aahs” from ‘I’m Not In Love’ got lost in a
glen. Or if you were actually in love with someone, and they didn’t know about it, or had forgotten, then you might get ‘Deep Sea Diving’. So when you get home, and a bit warmer, and you’ve just remembered Beach Boys and Smiley Smiles and summer, you’ll
know what to do.
Reach for the Elephants....
