This past June 20th, in the Casa de América in Madrid, the Independent Music Awards [UFI] were held. Here at Elefant we want to thank everyone who helped make it possible for us to win the prize for the “Best Independent Record Label” category.
Congratulations to all the winners, whom you can see for all the different categories here: http://www.premiosdelamusicaindependiente.com/11/
The trophy was designed by Olaf Ladousse, and this is especially exciting for us, since we admire him so much and are long-standing fans of his work as graphic artist, designer, musician, inventor and fanziner. The following is a description of the priceless instrument-trophy:
“Heir of a battery and a microchip emigrated from the plastic body of a toy accidently abandoned by a spoiled child, the doorag makes its way among tones and rhythms. Electric circuitry mutation via photoelectronic cells and a dancing spring, the instrument/trophy makes the Independent Music Awards ceremony more enjoyable, sensitive to the applause and outbursts. Created by Olaf Ladousse with his own hands, it is the fruit of his homemade experiments with empirical “circuit bending” electronics.”

Coming of age, as longed for as it may be, is still a difficult, complex and complicated process. That must be what Andrew Laidlaw, compositional mind of the Greenwich (England) sextet, thought when, upon returning to his hometown after two intense and successful years, both critically (media like The Times, The Guardian, Uncut and Pitchfork were captivated by what they declared to be an innovative and complex pop album) and with the public (more than 50,000 copies sold all over the world can testify to that), for “The Great Unwanted”, and found he had no place of his own there. Living in the band’s studio, where he constantly played the piano until the wee hours of the morning, showering in the local community pool and concentrating entirely on making a second album that, as he himself recognizes, brought him to moments of fleeting madness, debating between the confusion that such contrasts provoked in him.
This is the birth of “A Coming of Age”, the second album by LUCKY SOUL, a disc that abounds in spot-on melodies, the ability with arrangements and the ease with which they create hits, adding that special touch of complexity to an album full of nuances, artists, songs that talk about melancholy and loss, following the path set by those bittersweet sentences on “Pet Sounds”, full of mixed emotions, of that purifying process that moves from darkness to the most blinding light. This light shines on songs like “Woah Billy!&rd [ Read more ]

We’re finally opening our own YouTube channel! There was tons and tons of material to put up (and really, there’s still so much more), and Internet users can finally subscribe to the Elefant Records page on the most famous and visited video website in the world, which can be accessed from this web address: http://www.youtube.com/elefantrecords
For the channel’s official inauguration we’ve put up various new videos, some previously unreleased. You can enjoy the exclusive new video-clip of CORAZON’s “Nuevo Futuro” or SPEEDMARKET’s newest single, “No Drama”, which will be released in July and which we’re releasing the splendid new video-clip of in advance. There are a ton of LA CASA AZUL videos, plus interviews, live videos, reports… but the most exciting thing, for the moment, is definitely the video-clip of the English version of “La Revolution Sexual”. You can also find reports and interviews with COOPER that you most certainly haven’t seen, as well as three songs recorded live for the MySpace special, including the song “Mi Universo”, which is a completely new song not even included on Alex‘s latest work, “Aeropuerto”.
We have more than 100 video-clips from Elefant groups available (yes, all the videos from LA CASA AZUL, COOPER, CAMERA OBSCURA, NOSOTRÄSH, SINGLE, HEAVENLY, LOS FLECHAZOS, LUCKY SOUL, LA BIEN QUERIDA …) and a ton of extra pr [ Read more ]

We’re glad to present two videos by LUCKY SOUL, the next white great wonder from UK, due to its sophisticated, nostalgic pop.
The video for “Lips are unhappy” (directed by James Slater) is filmed in black and white with appealing stroboscopic light effects to enhance the charm and the vitality of the track, which is one of the band’s most popular singles.
On the other hand, the video for “Add your light to mine, baby” (the opening track in the band’s debut album “The great unwanted”, released in Spain by Elefant Records) is produced by US3 and directed by David Mullet. The band plays the song in a colorful, classy stage; the audience (featuring real LUCKY SOUL fans) enjoy the show while they drink some beer and play snooker.

British band LUCKY SOUL, the latest pop sensation coming from UK, will make its Spanish debut in the Second CulturaPOP festival at San Blas (Madrid).
The event will last for 4 days (from Thursday 19 to Sunday 22, April 2007) at the brand new Auditorio Municipal del Parque Paraíso (Avda. Arcentales, San Blas district), with a capacity of 1.000 people. LUCKY SOUL is scheduled for Sunday 22. Among other bands confirmed for the festival are COOPER, who will play on Friday 20.
This six-piece from Greenwich (UK) led by Ali Howard’s charming vocals is to be the next white great wonder due to its sophisticated, nostalgic pop. Catchy, fresh songs influenced by Dusty Springfield, Tamla Motown or THE RONETTES, specially for the ones in love with two-and-a-half-minutes pop songs with simple structures and unforgettable choruses. The band will play the songs included in their brand new debut album “The great unwanted”, released in Spain by Elefant Records.
