Elder Island is a genre-blending electronic trio from Bristol, UK, composed of Katy Sargent, Luke Thornton, and David Havard. Emerging from the city’s fertile underground scene, the group initially formed as an art project, fusing their backgrounds in fine art and design with an experimental approach to music-making. Drawing influences from house, indie, soul, and R&B, Elder Island built their signature sound around lush vocals, analog synths, and intricately woven rhythms.

Elder Island self-released their debut EP in 2014, quickly earning acclaim for their atmospheric production and captivating live shows. Over the years, they've cultivated a dedicated following through persistent touring and a series of thoughtfully crafted releases, including their debut full-length album "The Omnitone Collection" (2019) and its follow-up "Swimming Static" (2021). Their music explores themes of connection, memory, and human experience, often building on unconventional song structures and groove-laden basslines.

Renowned for their energetic performances and unique instrumentation, Elder Island have appeared at major festivals and played sold-out headline tours across Europe and North America. Their collaborative songwriting process and penchant for experimentation continue to push the boundaries across electronic and alternative music scenes, establishing Elder Island as one of the UK’s most innovative contemporary acts.
