Psychedelic Doom Drone Rituals Queen Elephantine: Shares New EP Series "Tribute To Atrophos Vol. I + Vol. II."

Queen Elephantine returns with two new EP's in a digital series titled Tribute To Atrophos. The illustrious psychedelic avantgarde collective was formed in Hong Kong in 2006 by Indian musician Indrayudh Shome and wandered through many cities before finding its current home base in Philadelphia, USA.

The post-apocalyptic global sound of Queen Elephantine is both heavy and transcendent, informed by everything from doom, drone, noise, krautrock, free jazz, and spiritual and subversive sounds from all over the world.

Besides several studio albums, the band has released a number of splits, including with Sons of Otis and Elder, and have recently finished a collaborative album with the Russian ritualists Phurpa. In observance and tribute to this period of global atrophy, they present a collection of improvisations recorded in the months following the release of their last LP Gorgon in November 2019 on Argonauta Records and Atypeek Music.
