Today, jam funk quartet Pigeons Playing Ping Pong debuted a never-before-heard single titled, "Elephante," along with an accompanying music video. The track is the first single the band have shared off their upcoming album on April 8.
The song showcases the Maryland band's catchy songwriting and jocular flair, and features a grooving horn line from Nashville funk collective Here Come The Mummies. Here Come The Mummies were also featured on Pigeons Playing Ping Pong's 2020 single "King Kong.
“As soon as I heard the first demo of Elephante, I was overwhelmed with excitement and just let it rip vocally,” said singer “Scrambled Greg” Ormont in a press release. “Musically, it knocks you off your chair. Lyrically, it’s about living life to the fullest. As for the music video, we just let our imaginations run wild on this one.”
The video features a Medieval Faire theme and was filmed at The Enchanted Forest in Ellicott City, Md. Appropriately the clip, which was directed by Don Cherel, features the band dressed as kings or heroes on a quest to save a princess, and quite a few pigeons.
On Feb. 10 Pigeons Playing Ping Pong will embark on a 30-plus night tour, through July 9. Find tickets to the tour here.
