Elephant Leaf, successively known as Vicious Circle (Some Bizzare) and View (DSA), is
the association of the two french avant-garde musicians, Lucie Dehli and Stephan Ink. The
experimental duet started their musical career in UK with the legendary Somebizarre label
then turned back to France to sign for a reissue of “Barbed Wire Slides” and 2 albums and
compilations “Heavenly Voices”under the name of View.
After they moved to Belgium, the two musicians collaborated with the experimental project
48 cameras (led by Jean Marie Mathoul, featuring David Coulter, Michael Gira, Rodolphe
Burger and many more fine musicians).
With Elephant Leaf, they explore some new fields of experimental music, which are totally
accessible for all lovers of minimal, but genius music. “Emotional Power” is their first full
length, which they’ve released on their own label Tutuguri.
One of the main characteristics of their compositions is the use of less sounds combined with
moody atmospheres. The play of guitar and bass guitar is quite particular, making the
specificity of several songs.
Lucie Dehli sings in whispering and shimmering way, adding a touch of delicacy and a
spooky element as well. It’s hard to find back all influences of this project, but the last cuts
have a little jazzy touch.
In january 2007 they signed for a split CD with the canadian Label Chat Blanc and released
“Emotional Power” on Tutuguri in january 2008. They also share their sounds with the British
instraumental progressive band SonVer and gave birth to “3 Songs” in May 2008.
Their previous productions are being reissued by the russian label Intuition Records.
Since January 2008, Lucie and Stephan have been joined on stage by Wouter Roggemans
(Drums), Lee Lebens (Guitars) and very recently by Adrien Lambinet (Trombone). Their new
album “The Taste of Salt” is out now.
