The Ivory Elephant have been pedaling their Blues inflected brand of Psych in the dark corners of Melbourne since 2012. Not subservient to the trends of modern music, the band follow their own inter-stellar trajectory of fuzz laden rock and extended psychedelic trips.

Played on a hand-crafted guitar and featuring members of The Seven Ups and The Merri Creek Pickers, the band's line up is Trent Sterling (guitar/vocals, Arthur Witherby (bass/keys/vocals) and Don Sargood (drums/vocals).

TIE's most recent release Stoneface (2019) is a follow up to their first album Number 1 Pop Hit (2017) and two earlier Eps; Time Here Is Up (2015) and Self-titled (2013).

Stretching the boundaries of modern Psych, Stoneface is best listened to whilst having an out-of-body experience fanging through time and space.

From the band: On Stoneface we really wanted to get deep in to Psych. The blues is still in there, but it's hidden behind a lot of fuzz and reverb. We also wanted to approach this release as a full album that is best listened to in one hit, rather than just a bunch of songs stuck together. There's some lengthy jams on there and some pretty heavy stuff, but there's also tracks on there like Jazzhead pt I and Stoneface which are pretty different to what people would expect from us.
