After a solid run of five studio albums and 2019's two double live albums, 'Psychedelic Backfire I and II', Elephant9 had taken their groovy mix of high energy rock and power jazz as far as they could. In this respect 'Arrival of the New Elders' comes as a welcome and most timely addition to their recorded output. More varied, mature and reflective, dont let the self-ironic () title mislead you, they are as groovy as ever, but more structured and less jam oriented, with the longest track clocking in around the seven minute mark.
