Høstsabbat 2023 Adds Shaman Elephant to Lineup
Those keeping track of such things might note that Shaman Elephant are the band with whom Enslaved collaborated for ‘The Otherworldly Big Band Experience,’ which in every respect lived up to its billing. The band released their latest LP, Wide Awake but Still Asleep, in 2020 and bring proggy presence to the bill of Høstsabbat 2023. I’m not certain what stage they’re playing on, or if they’ve got a new record coming or what, but as the weekly confirmations from the Oslo-based festival continue to roll out in advance of the 10th anniversary edition, sonic breadth seems to be the order of the day, and that’s that much better since this may just be the most ambitious Høstsabbat yet, not only in terms of the styles of the acts playing, but also the further realization of the established ethic of showcasing artists from Norway’s equal parts vibrant and varied underground. Shaman Elephant, in contributing to that and becoming part of the shape of the festival overall, are for sure something to look forward to.
From the fest:
HØSTSABBAT 2023 – Shaman Elephant (NO)
The band of the day on this beautiful Friday is a collective hailing from western Norway. Not the easiest band to describe, but very easy to love.
Our west coast has had a thriving prog and psychedelic rock scene for ages, giving and SHAMAN ELEPHANT is carrying that torch with a sound lusher than the fjords themselves.
It´s so captivating and enchanting. Bands like this also come with some sort of relief: Rock is far from dead.
SHAMAN ELEPHANT is as organic as it gets, keeping us focused and alert with a clever progressiveness at all times. Their sound is firmly rooted in the 60´s & 70´s era of their niche, but they are also able to add some kind of modern touch to everything, making them a band for the future rather than the past.
We cant wait to dive into their universe in October.
Please welcome Shaman Elephant to Høstsabbat 2023.
