Elephant Stone
Elephant Stone's debut album, The Seven Seas, starts out as pretty much standard dreamy, jangly guitar pop, with lots of nice layers and reverb. I like it. But after the fourth song, which is the title track, it moves in a different direction and that's when it really gets interesting.
The five member Montreal-based band is led by Rishi Dhir, who takes his classical Indian music background and weaves it throughout the record. It surfaces more prominently in the second half the album and I think the Indian influence adds both depth and a more trippy personality to the songs.

I took this CD to work because I thought it might be suitable, but it gets a little out there in places so I brought it back home. Not quite mellow enough for the clinic!
I like some dreamy, jangly guitar pop and an extension of this sounds
pretty good.
they have a bit of a "byrdsian" quality, i'd say. glad you like them!
You had me at 'dreamy jangly' :). I like this too, thank you.
