News of the new single from Elephant Kind as they release Louder and prep for a Summer of festival shows.

Elephant Kind are on the kind of journey that few bands ever experience – and the best is yet to come. Back home in
Indonesia they were big enough to fill arenas and play shows with the likes of Franz Ferdinand and The xx. But the call
of challenging themselves and finding a broader international audience was too much to resist, and so they started
again in London as complete unknowns. Almost two years later and they’re firmly in the ascendancy, a rise that
continues with the release of their new single Louder.

Louder is a defining moment for Elephant Kind’s shimmering alt-pop – rich with luminous synths and a flood of indie exuberance and the soulful expression of Bam Mastro’s vocal adding the kind of magnetic allure that helps the band step out from the pack. It’s a song that raises the bar for the band, but in a way that feels like a natural next step from last year’s Super Blue EP.

Bam says, “The chorus of Louder’might make it seem like a part anthem at first glance, but is actually an intimate experience of observing separation from the sidelines and complexities of being caught in the crossfire of separation. We’re ecstatic to announce our latest track, marking our return after a year and a half since our last EP.”

Written solely by Elephant Kind – completed by Bayu Adisapoetra (drums) and Kevin Septanto (bass) – the band’s collaborators on Louder further underline their momentum. The track was produced by Iain Berryman (beabadoobee, Wolf Alice, Young Fathers) and was mixed by the Grammy-winning Oli Jacobs (Harry Styles, The 1975, Taylor Swift).

Elephant Kind further showcased their powers as a live band with last year’s ‘Live In London’ EP and now have much
more to come on the horizon. Their next London headline show comes at The Victoria on June 15th (tickets available
