These Changing Skies, the new album from Elephant Revival, was recorded at legendary Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, Washington. It was produced and mixed by Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Milo Greene, Ra Ra Riot & Blonde Redhead). Dango Rose comments, "Recording at Bear Creek was a magical experience. Within the retreat atmosphere, we delved deeply into the creation of a distinct musical landscape. We are overjoyed with what has become, These Changing Skies."

When we were starting," recalls Rose, of Elephant Revival, "there was a back-and-forth on the actual name of the band. For a short period of time, we had the idea of the name It's Evolving."

Seven years later, Rose, who sings and plays double bass, mandolin and banjo in the folk quintet, still speaks of the potential handle with a notable air of attachment, writes Westword. And when you listen to the Nederland-based act's new album — the aptly titled These Changing Skies — and compare it to past releases, you can see why. That name still seems to capture something vital about the group. "It's such a true term for the music, and our growth as a band," notes Rose.

Elephant Revival was founded in 2006 and has steadily been gaining national renown since then, having shared bills with heavyweights like Béla Fleck, the Avett Brothers, Little Feat and Railroad Earth. The band, whose members hail from Colorado, Kansas and Chicago, has embraced the all-encompassing label of folk, but really, an array of styles, from jazz and Celtic to hip-hop and gypsy, all figure prominently in their sound.
