about

'Chollima' is the second album from London-based Sino-Greek psychedelic drone ensemble Elephant House.The record showcases Shenggy Shen's beguiling percussion and Christos Fanaras's esoteric synthesiser sounds. The album's title 'Chollima' refers to the mythical winged horse from Chinese mythology which is too swift and elegant to be mounted, an emblem that was especially popular in 1950's North Korea, and can now be seen as symbol of lost Communistic utopias. The opener 'Stin Ypoga' is a instrumental cover of Kostas Mpezos's classic Rebetiko song first recorded in 1930, which details smoking marijuana and hanging around in basements.
