“pele”
Pelé is a three-piece that balance each other out perfectly. They play an entrancing instrumental mix of post-rock and jazz that finds guitar, bass and drums twirling about each other in a sweet dance. And is that a banjo I hear clunking in so nicely? I think so. Elephant maintains a fascinating groove throughout.
