Released in collaboration with Kning Disk, Gothenburg.

Elephant & Castle is a musical work created by composers Matti Bye and Mattias Olsson. It is a journey through forgotten landscapes and a visit to an abandoned amusement park, to the sounds of an underwater orchestra playing broken barrel organs and strange instruments from a sunken ship.

The album was created in relation to the photographic work of Martina Hoogland Ivanow. Her images were used for inspiration during the recording sessions, as a visual partition for the music.
