Dunedin's Elan Vital Announce 'Shadow Self' Album Release Tour

On the coattails of unveiling their debut album Shadow Self last month, Dunedin's purveyors of tropical goth-pop Élan Vital have announced a six-date release tour around the country. Having formed in 2015 at None Gallery, the seven-song offering has been described by the trio as "a capsule in time from the early stages of the band's origin. An exploration of a dystopian future that never came to be, a soundtrack to a film that doesn't exist, equal parts performative and yet personal". Catch the three-piece live at the following dates...
