The Elven – Shine

That time machine thing right?! Cause the debut album Solstice by the new The Elven quintet will be released on April 3rd! It will be out through Spinda Records (ES), in a new collaboration with Clostridium Records (DE) and Echodelick Records (US). And today, we’re treated to the sunbeam, the first single, a beautiful ray of light called Shine. And if you had not heard about The Elven yet, well, this project is made up out of members of Saturna and Earthless! A warm and loving embrace made up from classic hard rock and seventies psych. Stunning!

PR Wire:

The Elven drop "Shine" as their first-ever single

Tabatha Puig, James Vieco, Javi Gómez, Isaiah Mitchell and Rod Tirado.

The Elven are making their debut today, Thursday, February 6th, with "Shine," the first preview of 'Solstice', a debut album set to be released on April 3, 2025, through Spinda Records.

What began at the end of 2020 as an irrational need to compose music by Rod Tirado and James Vieco from Saturna soon took on a different identity when they brought in their friends Isaiah Mitchell (Earthless) on lead guitar, Tabatha Puig on keyboards, and Javi Gómez on drums. In just one month, they wrote the 8 songs that make up this debut album, titled 'Solstice', which they recorded with all the freshness and spontaneity of the moment at the Analog Drive-in Studios, alongside Christian A. Korn at the controls and Dani Pernas as co-producer. Pernas would later handle the mixing before passing the project on to Estanis Elorza for mastering.

        

Solstice
1. Shine
2. Far beyond
3. Closer to freedom
4. New pair of wings
5. Stand right next to me
6. Out the door
7. Wherever I go
8. All of a sudden

For the graphic design, they once again enlisted an illustration by Jondix (Tool, Black Sabbath, High on Fire, Electric Wizard) and the design by Jalón de Aquiles for a vinyl edition that will be released by Spinda Records (ES), in a new collaboration with Clostridium Records (DE) and Echodelick Records (US), who previously worked together on the debut album by Loma Baja.

'Solstice' will be available on April 3, 2025, and will be released exclusively in digital format and on vinyl; in a limited edition of 300 copies in marbled yellow, which can already be pre-ordered at spindarecords.com.
