Walk The Nile (Release date: 2010-02-22)
Their debut ”Dodovoodoo” received excellent international reviews upon it´s release in 2008 with top marks from Mojo, Uncut and The Word while AMG called it amazing. With ”Walk The Nile” they are not only delivering the goods again, but it´s a general improvment on all accounts. More concerts have made them an even tighter entity and the musicianship on display is simply dazzling. Sporting five originals from Ståle Storløkken and one from Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen, the all analogue recording from Grand Sport Studios in Oslo gives it a gorgeous, organic late sixties, early seventees feel combining elements from rock, jazz, psychedelia, funk and prog. Simply fantastic stuff and highly recommended.
Elephant9 is Ståle Storløkken (Supersilent) on Hammond organ, Fender Rhodes and synths, Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen (Big Bang) on bass and Torstein Lofthus (Shining) on drums.
Also available on white vinyl in gatefold sleeve and with free download.

About Elephant9:
As a member of groundbreaking noise improvisors Supersilent, whose 8 (Rune Grammofon, 2007) was one of last year's best, co-conspirator with percussionist Thomas Strønen in Humcrush (Rune Grammofon, 2004), co-op member of Transatlantic electronic improv group Box with its debut Studio 1 Rune Grammofon, 2008) and guest on the tranquil stasis of Supersilent mate/trumpeter Arve Henriksen's Strjon (Rune Grammofon, 2007), keyboardist Ståle Storløkken may be the closest thing Rune Grammofon has to a house keyboardist. But as distinctive as he's always been as a colorist with these projects and others outside the Rune sphere—including guitarist Terje Rypdal's Vossabrygg (ECM, 2006)—he's never been as front and center as he is on DodoVoodoo, the debut from Elephant9.
Elephant9 also features drummer Torstein Lofthus, one of two original members left in Shining, whose relentless Grindstone (Rune Grammofon, 2007) referenced everyone from King Crimson to Henry Cow. Bassist Nikolai H...
