Ordinary Elephant - Ordinary Elephant '2024

Tracks list

Mesmerizing folk duo Ordinary Elephant has spent the better part of the last
decade on a never-ending tour that’s earned married couple Crystal and
Pete Damore widespread critical acclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom
Paxton and Mary Gauthier. In 2017, the pair took home the International Folk
Music Award for Artist of the Year on the strength of their breakout album,
Before I Go, and two years later, they returned with the similarly lauded
Honest, which the Associated Press hailed as “one of the best Americana
albums of the year.” 

The band’s new stripped-down, self-titled collection is the purest
distillation of their sound yet, showcasing the arresting power of the
couple’s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are
timeless, rooted in rich, character-driven storytelling, and the performances
are similarly transportive, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo, guitar, and
octave mandolin. Though the songs were born out of a period of deep uncertainty,
the record itself is a work of profound self-assurance, one delivered by a duo
whose personal and professional lives embody the limitless possibility of
honest, organic collaboration. Press play on Ordinary Elephant and you’ll
hear more than just a husband and wife; you’ll hear the sound of
sincerity and commitment, of patience and gratitude, of learning to let go of
expectation and revel in the simple beauty of the moment.
