Upcoming artist Elephant Castle is the retro-inspired indie-rock project from Los Angeles-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Phil Danyew, formed in late 2019. The first single, “Cool To Be Unhappy,” was released on March 27, 2020, with a warm welcome. A fresh take on the break-up ballad, Rolling Stone called the track a “roll-around-in-your-underwear-while-the-sun-seeps-through-the-window song.” Elephant Castle released four subsequent singles with enthusiastic buzz. In 2021, Elephant Castle released four more singles, including “French Food,” a cheeky daydream about fine dining after living in isolation for a year. The track was featured in season two of Apple TV’s The Morning Show. Raised in San Diego, CA, Danyew has been writing and recording music since age 12 after stealing his father’s tape recorder. Growing up listening to 50s and 60s oldies, Elephant Castle is a response to these early influences combined with a love for vintage synths, layered vocals, the dreamy sounds of tape saturation, and analog gear. Danyew spent six years as a touring member of the band Foster the People. He left at the beginning of 2020 to pursue his own music. Following the release of his newest track “Quicksand”, he presents a very thrilling sound that will definitely intrigue your attention. Starting with bright instrumentation leading onto his sweet and dreamy vocals he completes the song fully. Explaining a bit further it summons quirky piano, 60s organ, and a carefree beat to present an unsuitably chirpy track about people who pull you down. To the vocals and production, this track will surely have you jamming out. Being just perfect for a day out on the beach or hanging out with some friends. Go stream “Quicksand” and check out his discography which is filled with amazing tracks.
