Elder Island - Hello Baby Okay (Transparent Color Vinyl)

Fakten Elder Island’s Katy Sargent (vocals, cello), Luke Thornton (bass, beat-making) and David Havard (guitar, synths, programming) have spent the past decade building a dedicated fanbase on both sides of the Atlantic, with over 375 million streams worldwide.

When Elder Island went into the studio to record the followup to their critically acclaimed 2021 album, 'Swimming Static', they were determined to “turn everything on its head". The trio are celebrated for their brooding indie-electronica that draws on their Bristol roots, creating vastly detailed and immersive soundscapes. But 'Hello Baby Okay' marks a new era for the band, fuelled by a longing for transcendence and euphoria. An effervescent counterpoint to the current times, their new music is threaded through with a liberated energy, lilting funk-pop guitars, danceable beats and a renewed sense of play. “We wanted the joy to shine through," they say.
