大象體操 (Elephant Gym) is a math rock band from Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Formed in February 2012, *Elephant Gym* has quickly become a prominent figure in the genre. With their unique blend of intricate rhythms and melodic basslines, they have captivated audiences around the world.
Inspired by artists such as JYOCHO, paranoid void, and Via Luna, *Elephant Gym* brings a fresh perspective to the math rock scene. Their music showcases a perfect balance between complexity and accessibility, making it enjoyable for both hardcore fans and newcomers alike.
With influences ranging from Yvette Young to LITE, *Elephant Gym* continues to push boundaries with their innovative sound. Their dynamic performances and energetic stage presence have earned them a dedicated following worldwide. Whether you're a fan of toe or tricot, *Elephant Gym* is sure to impress with their technical prowess and infectious grooves.

"A mysterious object is revealed; the drum sound of the rite arouses; flares are blazing; the soul slides through water’s surface; the breath lights up the air; the body as a sacrifice, I hear myself, in this dream." The 12 songs that constitute Dreams, the third full-length from the Kaohsiung trio Elephant Gym, explore the deep spacetime continuum that consciousness cannot capture. Beyond the trio’s staple instrumentation of guitar, bass, and drumset, Dreams blends in wind instruments, traditional drums, and Taiwanese narrative. Through collaboration with Hakka singer-songwriter Lin Sheng Xiang and pop musician 9m88, notable for their accomplishments in jazz, soul, and R&amp;B, Dreams is a sweeping narrative about a fantastical dream that crosses the boundary. After pressing play, please do close your eyes, and enjoy the dream.
