Brains! by Elephants of Scotland
Elephants of Scotland return after 8 years! For the new collection, the band is joined by accomplished singer Chris Titchner with backing vocals from Lyle King and bandleader multi-instrumentalist Adam Rabin. Greg Skillman once again provides a key lyric ("Cool Rabbits") and even lays down a guitar riff on the opening track. Bob Gagnon, John Whyte, and Alen Cileli join the fracas with their bass, guitar, and violin skills.
In addition to the album, you will get two bonuses: the whole album as instrumentals and a digital booklet with all of the lyrics and a short story from Greg Skillman.
