Hi, we're Elementals. Forming in January 2014, we are proud to have spent the last three and a half years playing the music we are passionate about to old friends, new friends, party goers, pub crawlers, barflys etc, etc. From the very start of this bands' life, our goal has been to make a connection with as many people as possible through our music. So when we released our first album, "I'm Not Here, I'm Not Real" in 2015, it was an easy decision to give physical copies of it away for free at shows, a decision we stick with to this day.
With our new album, "Mother Nature and Her Bipolar Tendencies" fully recorded and nearly finished being mixed, we truly feel like we have something special in our hands. This album sees us more confident in exploring new musical territory, inspiring us to redefine what we thought Elementals had to sound like.
With that being said, our new goal is to give this album the release we feel it deserves. It will be available digitally, on CD, and on 12" vinyl. It has been a dream of ours for a long time to put our music on wax, and we could not be more excited to finally make it a reality. Unfortunately, pressing vinyl is very expensive, so we wont be able to give this one away for free ("I'm Not Here, I'm Not Real" will continue to be free).

If you are even considering helping out with this, you deserve to know exactly where your money is going so we're going to break out some numbers here:
