Elephant Castle is the brainchild of singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Phil Danyew. Channeling his love of vintage 1950’s pop melodies and 1960’s psychedelia through a modern-day indie rock filter, his new project Elephant Castle manages to sound both familiar, and excitingly new at the same time. Check his latest single “Quicksand” for further proof. This tune is a four-and-a-half-minute dreamscape that feels like a retro trip through Southern California’s trippy garage rock glory days of yours but composed and recorded for ultra-fine, HD 4K modern-day audiophile consumption. Elephant Castle captures the best of both worlds.
