Out today: ELEPHANT RIFLE - Broken Water


Broken Water, the new album by Elephant Rifle, is out today on Learning Curve Records.

From Reno, Nevada, Elephant Rifle's freak flag-waving brand of Western noise rock falls in a crack between the most jagged crags of '90s noise-rock, '80s hardcore, and '70s classic rock. New album Broken Water is the prolific band's ninth release since 2010.

“Gruesome, gravelly... Yes, it sounds a little bit like something you would expect to hear in 'The Hills Have Eyes,' but that’s exactly how it should be. Much like sludgy contemporaries Chat Pile, who captured the essence of their hometown in grim, gristly detail, Elephant Rifle works through the unique, semi-surreal flavors of isolation one must face in the desert. Its off-kilter, sludgy style of no-wave embraces its environment in the strangest of ways."
–Fecking Bahamas

"The band drives forward with burliness of a Melvins/Jesus Lizard jam session and the quirks of guys raised on 'Trout Mask Replica.'"
–Northern Transmissions

"The pride of Reno."
–Protonic Reversal
