The beginnings of Elefant can be traced back to the spring of 2001, and the demise of the NYC garage rock band “Circus.” Diego Garcia, frustrated and left without an outlet for his songs, decided to put together a new band… and the result is Elefant.

The band has been tearing up the alt-rock charts with the song “Misfit” which has also been a popular video. This is the remix version, which is the one used on the radio and in the video. Download and enjoy!

At first I thought I had been given the wrong tape, because it sounded like My Bloody Valentine or m83, not hiphop. But then that familiar beat started and the woofers in my 82 Trans Am Recaro Edition started to throb… my instinct was that it was a mash-up, but soon it was apparent that the underground hiphop group Dälek has a distinct sound that is organic and not forced, with layers of complexity beyond the scope of most groups of any genre. Dalek knows how to rock the house with extreme volumes, layers and layers of guitars, big beats, and tight rhymes.

This is for when you want to crank the volume in your ‘am up to levels that if you weren’t so stoned and drunk would probably kill you. Recommended.
