Elder Island (band)

Elder Island is a British musical group from Bristol.

The group was founded under the name Trouvaille, and was initially conceived as an experimental folk exploration whilst studying various art degrees in Bristol & South Wales.[1] Their house-inflected 2014 debut received airplay on BBC Radio 6.[1] The group continued working in jobs outside of the band alongside recording and producing side work included interior decoration, club management, graphic design, and art department work at Aardman Animations.[2]

Elder Island's first full-length, The Omnitone Collection, was released in 2019.[3][4] The group toured North America in 2019 in support of the album.[5][6]

In November 2020, the group announced a new release, Feral.[7][8]
