来自法国的女主唱Amelia Rivas遇见了来自英国布里斯托的Christian Pinchbeck，不仅是堕入爱河，还在伦敦南部建立了属于他们的乐队Elephant。从2011年开始他们陆续发表歌曲，中间历经分手之痛，2012年重归于好，并发表了单曲专辑《Skyscraper》。2013年发布两张EP《Shapeshifter》和《Snowday》。
Elephant is the capable duo of Amelia Rivas and Christian Pinchbeck, who combine for a delightful take on nostalgic pop music with their love for spontaneously retro production. Their new track, “Shapeshifter”, seems culled from a ’70s spy film, when the recent transition to color made all films have an odd sort of hypnotic glow. Add the stunningly melodic nonchalance of Rivas’ vocals, and you have a track made of delicately empowered nostalgia and seduction. ”Take me back to your room,” she purrs at one point, seductively in sync with the nostalgic strings and rhythmic effervescence. Pinchbeck’s marvelous production is as if a soul songwriting legend (Thom Bell) got together with a prolific arranger for film scores, like Angelo Badalamenti. Despite all the comparisons, “Shapeshifter” is a highly original piece of magic that’s both engrossing and highly reminiscent.
