ELEPHANT KIND Reveal Live Version of New Single ‘Exactly What I Needed’

2nd September 2026

Genre-defying Indonesian alt-pop trio Elephant Kind are delighted to announce a very special limited edition vinyl pressing of their third studio album, More Time, which is out now on all good digital service providers.

The limited edition Black Green Marble 12” release will be available from Australasia/UK’s Holiday Records in partnership with UK label home Alcopop! Records and released on 4th September 2026.

To celebrate, the band are today sharing a special live version of new single ‘Exactly What I Needed’, one of the album’s stand out tracks that was influenced by their time living in the UK and their exposure to London’s thriving electronic music scene.

“Exactly What I Needed was written during our time in London,” explains frontman Bam Mastro of the single. “Living there had a big influence on the song. Being surrounded by its music scene inspired us to lean into a dance and house-influenced groove, and it became one of the defining moments on More Time.”

The news comes ahead of the band’s forthcoming September 2026 UK headline tour dates, their first live appearances in the territory since the release of More Time, following Party of a LIVETIME—a two-part album launch series in Jakarta taking the form of a sold out intimate listening party and a full-scale live showcase performing the album in its entirety.

Commenting on the tour, Mastro continues: “Every UK tour takes a huge amount of commitment behind the scenes, but the UK has always given us a reason to keep coming back. It’s a long way from home, yet the connection we’ve built with audiences there makes every mile worthwhile. After our sold-out 2023 tour and festival run in 2024, we’re excited to return for another run of headline shows this September.”

The band’s most personal and expansive record to date, new album More Time is a genre-blurring body of work that explores transformation, longing, and the relentless pursuit of meaning in a fast-moving world, as they step confidently into a new global chapter.

With a run of shows across Asia and their UK headline tour lined up, Elephant Kind have made a defining statement with More Time—a record that seals the deal on both the band’s evolution, and their arrival.
