Canister, the latest album from the San Francisco based band Elephone, would make for a perfect soundtrack to a film mired in poignancy, dark humor and self reference. From the kinetic opening track, “El Jefe”, to the whimsical, carnival infused closer, “It’s Forced”, the tracks serve up tragicomedy on an analog platter. The cinematic allusions are purposeful. Lead singer Ryan Lambert has a background in film and television and the album’s title is borrowed from the oft used- and referenced- film canisters.
