Elaphi

Elaphi is a Dublin-based four-piece band formed in 2021 by songwriter and guitarist Sara Barberio, along with Jacopo Stofler (guitar), Federico Camici (bass), and Grim Nordahl (drums). Their music combines moody folk with subtle electronic elements, drawing inspiration from artists like Warpaint, Daughter, and Radiohead. The band's name, derived from the Greek word "Elaphos" meaning deer, symbolizes both vulnerability and strength, reflecting the intricate balance of these qualities in their artistic expression. Elaphi's compositions capture the imperfections and vulnerability of the human journey, creating ethereal yet punchy soundscapes that evoke introspection and intimacy.

Their recent releases include tracks like "The Wind," "All I Ask," and "Diamond Walls," with the latter being a standout single that explores themes of love and loss through metaphoric lyrics and powerful dynamics. "Diamond Walls" showcases the band's ability to craft a unique sonic experience that resonates deeply with listeners who appreciate the emotional depth of bands like Wolf Alice and New Dad. Elaphi's music is a testament to the collaborative vision of its members, each contributing their unique musical skills to create impactful compositions.
