Elder Island Brings New Sound
English trio Elder Island is set to perform at CHALK in Brighton, showcasing their new era of music. With a fresh sound that draws on their Bristol roots and a range of influences, the band is ready to share their latest creations.
Elder Island, a trio from Bristol, will perform at CHALK in Brighton on Wednesday, 4 November. The band, consisting of Katy Sargent, Luke Thornton, and David Havard, has undergone a significant transformation since their formation in 2014 as an experimental audiovisual project called Trouvaille.
Their music has evolved from folk to house, and eventually, to a soulful, disco-tinged style, as seen in their 2019 debut album, The Omnitone Collection. The band's subsequent releases, including Swimming Static in 2021, have solidified their reputation as a unique and captivating act. Their latest album, Hello Baby Okay, released in May 2026, marks a new era for the band, characterized by a longing for transcendence and euphoria.
The new album's sound is a testament to the band's ability to draw on a wide range of influences, from African disco to Overmono and William Onyeabor. With a focus on funk-pop guitars, danceable beats, and a renewed sense of play, Elder Island's music is sure to captivate audiences.
