Directed by award-winning filmmaker Aella Jordan-Edge, the video transports fans back to the 1960s with a retro TV show vibe. “We’ve packed as much madness in as we possibly could,” frontman Jack Cochrane said of the video.

Speaking on the track, he added: “‘Elephants’ is another twist on our ever growing diverse catalogue. The song in whole features a change in lyrical style leaning more towards referencing. The main theme of this track is about believing in your own ability in times of struggle and diversity.”

The track is the band’s first new music since the release of their debut ‘Mixtape EP’.
