ELEPHANT STONE – Canadian Psych Rockers Return With Anxious Whirlwind ‘EVERYTHING IS EVIL’ From Upcoming LP
Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine
27 March 2026
Band: ELEPHANT STONE
Who: Acclaimed psych outfit fronted by Rishi Dhir, a songwriter and sitarist who
has spent twenty years blurring the lines between Western psych-pop and Indian
classical.
With a discography spanning 10 acclaimed releases, they remain at the forefront
of the modern movement, constantly deconstructing the past to find something
visceral, haunting, and undeniably human in the present.
Track: EVERYTHING EVIL
Lead single from the band’s new upcoming LP, baptized Asha.
It’ll come our way on August 26th. Tracklist and order info here.
It follows the 2024 album Back Into The Dream.
Dhir: “I wanted to come out of the door swinging. It feels like there’s a lot of evil in the world right now, and ‘Everything Evil’ is a direct response to that — it’s short, it’s angry, and it gets straight to the point.”
Press info about the album: “‘Asha’ is the Sanskrit word for ”Hope’ — is named after the late mother of Rishi Dhir, who passed away earlier this year. The album is a meditation on grief and the friction between sorrow and hope, written and recorded during one of the most personally difficult periods of Dhir‘s life.”
TUTV: Expect a psychedelic whirlwind going fast forward from the get-go.
Totally overwhelming. An army of rampaging guitars and steadfast drum/bass
clobbering join arms for 113 head-spinning seconds, while Dhir zealous vocals
hover all over the dizzying groove. Anxious urgency. Then suddenly it’s over.
Well, you know where the repeat button is.
Wake up, people, ES is back.
