Elephant Gym is a math rock band from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, founded in February
2012.
In November 2018, the band released their second full-length album Underwater
accompanied by a world tour.
Elephant Gym builds worlds through a bass-driven, jazz-and-funk-inflected
writing style that teems with agile, articulate excitement. While commonly
associated with the sub-genre of math-rock, Elephant Gym employs their own
unique technical candor, with rhythms and melodies that never cross the line
into uncomfortable angularity.
On Underwater, Elephant Gym's latest release and second full-length, there was
no single composer overseeing the record. To the end of unlocking new sounds for
themselves, each member took turns leading production and compositional roles
during the creation of the album. The result is an expansive cohesion of diverse
songs which flow in and out of one another like water. Vocal cameos by
international collaborators provide another compelling dimension to the record,
emboldening a group usually known for their instrumental compositions.
The band explains that "'Underwater' is an idea about a kind of private,
mysterious space." It's a place where one may go to ponder or concentrate, to
clear one's head, or to just blow off some steam in solitude. So, too, is
Underwater fundamentally about immersion: immersion in the chaos of feeling,
living in the throes of being human-sized in the infinite expanse of existence.
Elephant Gym deftly weaves this universal concept into their signature sound
without ever pulling you out of your personal space, leaving you to yourself
underwater.
