Montreal indie-rock band Elephant Stone stand out from others of their ilk thanks to frontman Rishi Dhir's way of incorporating traditional Indian instrumentation (primarily sitar, on which he's adept, but also tabla and dilruba) into jangly, driving psychedelic rock that takes many groovy turns. The result makes you want to get down, although there are plenty of swaying, swirling, otherworldly moments, too. New single "Land of Dead" finds the trio taking a heavier, more concise, stoner-meets-tronic turn. by Leilani Polk
