Elephant, Rotterdam’s protean purveyors of silver-toned songs, forge their melodic indie rock with light and darkness, calm and intensity. What starts off indrawn and dreamy, could easily erupt into a fiery solo. The four friends are dogged optimists, but even Elephant gets it under their skin sometimes.

Following the Big Thing (2022) and Shooting for the Moon (2023), their newest album III (2025) will release on March 28. III — the third album — will be released, delving into the darker sides of life for the first time and embracing new musical experiments.
