Elephant Tree Drop New Single "Try"

British stoner doom quartet ELEPHANT TREE and Magnetic Eye Records are celebrating ten years together with three releases due out September 6th. Two of which are reissues for previous full-lengths Theia (2014) and Habits (2020), the third will be a new full-length, Handful of Ten, containing demos, b-sides, and two new tracks, recorded specifically for this compilation. Today, the Englishmen have released one of those songs entitled "Try" and it's accompanying music video.

The band comments on the "Try," "This was really a cathartic exercise in playing something a little different, written with an initial cast-away attitude after a few pints on a sweltering summer's day", guitarist and singer Jack Townley writes on behalf of the band. "We don't play faster songs often, let alone get space to add them to records. The subject matter is about someone conforming to try be a model citizen, not wanting to step out of line in fear of the repercussions. He tries his hardest to not express his alternate views while others around him conform and in the end it all boils over, leaving him feeling 'forever lost'."
