Rather than the guitar leading the way like most instrumental rock, this record puts bass at the absolute centre, jazz and post-rock and classical training all folded into music built on genuine technical intricacy that never once feels cold or academic. Recorded with Mino Takaaki of Japanese post-rock band toe, a mentor whose fingerprints on the genre are hard to overstate, the album arrived in 2014 as a genuinely assured debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGames showcases the interplay at its tightest, all three instruments locking into shifting time signatures without ever losing the melody underneath. Day Time brings in vocalist Enno Cheng for the record's warmest, most accessible moment, and Ordinary Route lets Tell's guitar work take the spotlight for once. Swan closes the album on its most patient, atmospheric note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA debut this technically assured rarely arrives this melodically generous too. Elephant Gym managed both.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45290633068849,"sku":"634457107496","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Elephant_Gym-Angle_Pink_Blue.jpg?v=1788354059","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/elephant-gym-angle","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
