JAKARTA - Jakarta-based band Elephant Kind has released their latest single, "Man Enough," the first step toward their upcoming third studio album, "More Time." This work marks a new era with a confident step onto the global stage.
Blending genre-bending indie alternative with a sharp pop sensibility, Elephant Kind has developed a distinctive sound shaped by their journey from Jakarta to London. Bam Mastro (vocals, guitar), Bayu Adisapoetra (drums), and Kevin Septanto (bass) channel their experiences of relocation, personal growth, and years of sonic experimentation into music that feels boundless yet grounded.
Their innovative approach has earned them growing critical acclaim, both domestically and internationally, with momentum gaining strength as the band realizes their global ambitions.
"Man Enough," as their first release, conveys the emotional and thematic core of "More Time," about navigating identity, vulnerability, and the expectations that shape modern masculinity. The song was co-produced by Iain Berryman (Arcade Fire, Wolf Alice, Beabadoobee, Sam Fender, Young Fathers) and recorded by Drew Dungate-Smith at Narcissus Studios in London.
It was mixed by Robert Adam Stevenson (QOTSA, Techincolours, Jeff Beck, KT Tunstall) and mastered by Christian Wright at Abbey Road Studios in London. With powerful lyrics and dynamic production, “Man Enough” shows Elephant Kind at their most honest and musically daring, bridging introspection, urgency, and catharsis.
Speaking of the album, More Time represents a natural evolutionary phase for Elephant Kind, who have already experienced the dynamics of their career. It captures a group fully embracing their identity, fearlessly blending their alt-rock roots with breakbeats, and melancholic ballads with dancefloor catharsis. This album doesn’t just ask for more time; it demands your full attention.
