After a solid run of five studio albums and 2019's two double live albums, 'Psychedelic Backfire I and II', Elephant9 had taken their groovy mix of high energy rock and power jazz as far as they could. In this respect 'Arrival of the New Elders' comes as a welcome and most timely addition to their recorded output. More varied, mature and reflective, don´t let the self-ironic (?) title mislead you, they are as groovy as ever, but more structured and less jam oriented, with the longest track clocking in around the seven minute mark.

1. Arrival of the New Elders
