"Where words fail ... music speaks."
That simple line atop Elephant Revival's Facebook page contains only five words, but reveals volumes about the band's reason for being. Music unites us in ways that no other medium can. Even when we don't understand one another's languages -- we can be moved by a rhythm, soothed by a song.
"If this [Elephant Revival] doesn't make you smile, something is wrong with you." -The New York Times
Brought together by a unified sense of purpose -- the spirit of five souls working as one, in harmony, creating sounds they could never produce alone. The five souls in Elephant Revival are Sage Cook (banjo, guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo, bass and fiddle); Bridget Law (fiddle, octave fiddle); Bonnie Paine (washboard, djembe, musical saw, stompbox); Daniel Rodriguez (guitar, banjo, bass); and Dango Rose (double-bass, mandolin, banjo). All share vocals and write songs. Paine delivers additional beats via footstomps on plywood, her stockinged feet doing near jigs as her hands, encased in antique leather gloves, rub silver nickel against corrugated metal.
This Nederland, Colo., quintet are, needless to say, quite a sound to be experienced -- especially when they fall into the pocket of a groove containing elements of gypsy, rock, Celtic, alt-country and folk. The Indie Acoustic Music Project simply labeled their sound "progressive edge.
