Liverpool three piece Elevant, are set to release their new single ‘Hide it Away’ on their own ELEVANT MUSIC LIMITED imprint.
It’s available before the release date on Bandcamp on a pay what you want basis, before seeing a widespread release on the 8th of July. Recorded by Connor Dickson at Canvas Studios and Mastered by Pete Maher (Jack White/Patti Smith/The Scissor Sisters).

Hot on the heels of their third full-length album, 2016’s ‘There is a Tide’, Elevant condense their sound to its essentials on ‘Hide it Away’ and push away from the grungier sounds of their earlier output, sharpening the hooks and tightening the rhythms. Here drummer Tom Shand and bassist Hannah Lodge deliver a slinky yet unhinged post-punk groove, both weird and danceable, whilst frontman Michael Edward weaves inbetween, adding dashes of sinister psychedelic colours and crooning seductively.
‘Hide it Away’ tells the tale of a lover’s plea to his partner to feign ignorant regarding his hedonistic addiction, in the hope that fake ignorance can remain bliss. The tale turns sour as his partner flees in the night whilst he indulges in hedonism, and the band promptly dismantles the groove as everything falls apart.
To mark the release of the new single, the trio will take their beguiling live proposition out on the road for a series UK shows this summer as follows:
