Elephant Gym return with "Highway"
The Taiwanese trio have returned with a new standalone single, entitled "Highway".
The new track arrives on the heels of a live album, Live in THE WORLD, and a documentary soundtrack, More Real than Dreams, both of which arose from the band's world tour in late 2024.
On "Highway" Elephant Gym return to their instrumental roots with bass-forward songwriting, highlighting bassist KT Chang's penchant for finger-tapped melodies. Sibling Tell Chang deftly meshes intricate guitar work and distorted texture with Chia-Chin Tu's elastic drumming, hearkening back to a time when the band was known exclusively for dynamic instrumental music that Pitchfork once described "as close to jazz as rock: virtuosity not as a means of showing off, but approaching the sublime."

Of the new track, the band explains:
For those who are on the road — whether walking, driving, or riding a high-speed train — the passing scenery reminds us that we are growing, and also dying; that we are setting out, and slowly making our way home.
