Indonesia's Elephant Kind Release New Album 'More Time' Out Now Via Alcopop! Records

Indonesian alt-pop trio Elephant Kind return today with their third studio album, More Time, out now via Alcopop! Records. To celebrate the news, the band are also delighted to announce a run of September 2026 UK headline tour dates, with tickets on sale now (see below for listings).

Meanwhile, marking the release of More Time back home, the band have also announced Party of a LIVETIME — a two-part album launch series in Jakarta. The first chapter, held earlier this week, took the form of a SOLD OUT intimate listening party accompanied by a semi-live DJ set, offering fans an exclusive full listen of the album one day ahead of its official release.

The second instalment, set for 7th May 2026 at Krapela, Jakarta will see Elephant Kind present a full-scale live showcase — performing the album in its entirety alongside a selection of standout tracks from their back catalogue. Tickets are on sale now.

The band's most personal and expansive record to date, new album More Time is a genre-blurring body of work that explores transformation, longing, and the relentless pursuit of meaning in a fast-moving world, as they step confidently into a new global chapter.

Developed throughout 2023 to 2025, More Time was shaped during a period of profound change for the band. Written between the sprawling chaos of Jakarta and the introspective quiet of London, the record captures a pivotal moment in their journey.

Creatively self-produced and mixed, it stands as a testament to resilience, growth, and unfiltered honesty — the sound of a band shedding old skins while holding onto the lessons learned along the way. "We've released songs here and there over the past few years, but this time we're holding a complete record we truly believe in, finally on the horizon, ready to be received and heard by the world," says vocalist Bam.

The album's title and focus track, 'More Time', carries a hypnotic, late-night energy. With ambient, reverb-soaked vocals and introspective lyricism, its moody, immersive palette captures Elephant Kind at their most sonically adventurous.

More Time represents both a departure and a natural evolution for the band. Seamlessly fusing alt-rock roots with breakbeats, and melancholic ballads with dancefloor catharsis, it showcases a group fully stepping into their identity — fearless, fluid, and unrestrained. This is an album that doesn't just ask for more time; it demands full attention.

The record was produced by the band's vocalist and guitarist, Bam Mastro, with Iain Berryman (Arcade Fire, Wolf Alice, beabadoobee, Sam Fender, Young Fathers) co-producing three tracks, including 'Man Enough'. It was recorded in London before being completed in Jakarta. Mixing was handled by Robert Adam Stevenson (QOTSA, KT Tunstall, Jeff Beck), with mastering by Christian Wright at Abbey Road Studios, London.

Blending genre-bending alternative with sharp pop sensibility, Elephant Kind have built a signature sound shaped by their journey from Jakarta to London and beyond. Comprised of Bam Mastro (vocals, guitar), Bayu Adisapoetra (drums), and Kevin Septanto (bass), the trio channel years of movement, personal growth, and sonic exploration into music that feels both borderless and deeply grounded. Their forward-thinking approach has earned growing critical acclaim internationally.

With a run of shows across Asia and a UK headline tour lined up for September 2026, Elephant Kind are poised to make a defining statement with More Time — a record that signals not just evolution, but arrival.
