*AXOLOTES MEXICANOS [Asturias]: Impresiona ver la frescura y la actitud de los AXOLOTES MEXICANOS. Después de su Single de debut, les llega por fin el momento de presentar su primer formato largo, un Mini-LP en vinilo 10”. Un disco que sorprende ya desde su título, con emoticono incluido “Holi <3”, en este disco muestran claras querencias por el J-pop que surgió en el barrio de Shibuya. Olaya, Stephen  y Juan nos muestran su filosofía punk, desprejuiciada, desacomplejada e iconoclasta en este fantástico disco plagado de hedonismo y color.

*LOS BONSÁIS [Asturias]: Esta vez con formación de cuarteto en directo, nos presentarán las canciones de su nuevo disco "Nordeste", un Mini-LP en vinilo con 10 temas donde las melodías adictivas se deslizan entre latigazos de punk-pop, medios tiempos altamente tarareables e incluso alguna pequeña delicadeza. La electricidad de MY BLOODY VALENTINE, RIDE o THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN, el primitivismo de BEAT HAPPENING, la sacu [ Read more ]

Mini-LP 10"  "Holi <3” Available for ORDER on our website!!

Release Date:16-02-2014

It’s impressive to see the freshness and the attitude of AXOLOTES MEXICANOS. After their debut Single, the moment has finally arrived for their first full-length – a white, 10” vinyl Mini-LP in a 500-print limited-edition. The album is surprising right from the title, emoticon included – “Holi <3” – and with its front cover and liner, which show clear tendencies toward the J-pop that came out of Tokyo’s Shibuya district. Olaya Pedrayes, Stephen Lyne and Juan Pedrayes are beginning to show us their cards, among which there are clearly a good number of aces, the first of which is their unbiased, untroubled, and iconoclastic punk philosophy, and the second of which is this fantastic album full of hedonism and color.

“Disparo De Amor” starts things off big, with no concessions – Ramones-styled pop-punk filtered through HELEN LOVE, with a keyboard marking the melody and firing point blank. It has an unremorseful chorus, a solid structure, and a percussive bridge to make you dance till you drop. Dementia takes over and this is just the beginning. “Te Miro Mientras Duermes” accentuates the pop aspect, but unveils the cynicism and madness of their lyrics: from the “Y todas las noches mirando la luna / Me acerco a tu casa para robarte la basur [ Read more ]

Release Date:16-02-2014

After their 7” single for our “New Adventures In Pop” collection now we have the advance digital single for "Holi <3", their upcoming first full-length release.

“Disparo De Amor” starts things off big, with no concessions – Ramones-styled pop-punk filtered through HELEN LOVE, with a keyboard marking the melody and firing point blank. It has an unremorseful chorus, a solid structure, and a percussive bridge to make you dance till you drop. Dementia takes over and this is just the beginning.

Axolotes Mexicanos (Spain)   

This Asturian trio, signed to the legendary Elefant Records, career from crazy punk to the most playful, DIY electro-pop with energy, muscle, strength and ferocity.  Olaya, Stephen and Juan evoke the wildest and most fun moments of the indie explosion that happened in the early 80s in Spain. The band’s first  release, “Infectados”, is Helen Love  and Pegamoides pogo-dancing in celebration of one of the group’s biggest passions – zombies!    

Linda Guilala (Spain)

A fter the split of Juniper Moon at the end of 2005, Iván (former drummer and founder of the band) and Eva (keyboards) started their new adventure under the name of Linda Guilala. Their latest release, ‘Xeristar’ (Elefant Records) contains six intense, electrifying compositions that go from furious to narcotic, somewhere between Los Planetas, Ride, Clinic, My Bloody Valentine and Spiritualized at their spaciest and most ultrasonic.            

The Yearning  

Founded by songwriter/producer Joe Moore and signed to the legendary Elefant Records, the band’s songs ache of a bygone innocence and simplicity, as influenced by Phil Spector’s girl groups, Brian Wilson’s ‘Pet Sounds’ and Irving Berlin’s classic songwriting. Their debut [ Read more ]

Here at Elefant, we have always been huge fans of Christmas albums, so we finally decided to get our act together, and we’ve put a lot of energy and excitement into our first Christmas album. “A Christmas Gift For You From Elefant Records” is full of previously unreleased songs that look toward that luminous side of life, a fantastic excuse to feel optimistic, colorful, and, why not, irony a [ Read more ]
