“Hauntingly melodic, Brooklyn's Elephant Parade betray their cumbersome name with delicate, heart-wrenching pop. A boy, a girl, a keyboard—sure it's been done before, but never so effortlessly.”

"Somewhere between Mates of State, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, and a minimalist Broadway composition is the ground on which Elephant Parade have built this tune. It’s beautiful in its simplicity, and draws its strength from the fact that it isn’t overdone. Much like Mo Tucker’s contribution of “After Hours” to the Velvet Underground catalogue, “Goodbye” isn’t about amazing female vocals. It’s a plain and simple presentation of emotion."

"...what they do together is record whispery, juvenile songs in their bedrooms, with acoustic guitar and piano accompaniment. Their lyrics are terrific, the harmonies wonderfully sweet, and it sounds a little bit like a Karen Anne album, only more introverted."
"What's amazing about this album is that just like that, from nowhere, they hand you ten songs that instantly tear your heart apart." -- 4/5.

when I heard Elephant Parade for the second or third time, I thought: "Oh yeah, I love these guys," even though they're unsigned and haven't finished their first EP yet. Word travels, I guess, and good words travel quick.

"It's the most delightful piece of intimacy you could have your ears bathing in. I'm not sure how to define the sweetness of the sound, so moist, but I do know to say that when it's used with such songs, it generates goosebumps on the heart."

"Elephant Parade are doing things that are found in the frozen angles of a single moment. They don't develop songs in the typical, common way. It's pretty cool, and inspiring, if you ask me."
