Elevant is the brainchild of Songwriter/Singer/Guitarist Michael Edward. Heralding from Liverpool's rich creative melting pot, it was initially formed as a recording project but has metamorphosed into a full band, drawing on influences in hard rock, psychedelia, post punk, rock and roll, krautrock and blues, plus whatever else happens to cross our ears.

The first, self titled record was recorded with Tom Shand on drums and Joe Hutchinson on bass, at Western Recording Company in Liverpool. It was engineered by Kyle Western, whom is in our humble opinion Liverpool's own Steve Albini, except a far nicer person. The whole thing was done in 5 days, tracking, mixing, mastering. Several songs went down first take, like BOOM, straight out the box. The record was released on 17/9/2014.

The lineup of the band is now more fluid, with members coming and going as they please, acting like a far smaller version of collectives like Funkadelic or The Fall, with Michael remaining the central pillar around which the group is built.
