Crystals by Shaman Elephant, released 09 December 2016 1. Crystals 2. Shaman In The Woods 3. IAB 4. Tusco 5. The Jazz 6. Stoned Conceptions The thriving Rock and Prog scene around Bergen, Norway, has already seen the emergence of bands like Seven Impale, Tiebreaker, D'accorD and Ossicles, and the newest addition to this burgeoning scene is Shaman Elephant. Over the past few years, the four piece has been drawing bigger and bigger crowds in their home town, and, after releasing the digital EP "More" in 2015 they were snapped up by Karisma Records.

Shaman Elephant continue this surge, with RG mainstays Motorpsycho and Bushman’s Revenge being useful references.

Tusco is a jazzy instrumental, its weaving piano and subtly propulsive rhythm recalling the sadly missed .

Crystals will be the first full-length album from the Norwegians, whose previous release was the three-track EP More. Whilst there is no doubt that SHAMAN ELEPHANT’s sound, replete with heavy riffs, flowing melodies and a good dose of improvisation, fits easily into the Psychedelic Rock genre, it is the additional elements of Jazz and Prog Rock that makes their music just that little bit different.
