Video: Rachael Yamagata - Elephants (New Album Out 10/7!)

Sleeping in tents in between tracking sessions at a makeshift studio on Maryland's Eastern Shore might not sound like the best situation for recording an album.

Rachael Yamagata's new two-part record, Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart , is finally arriving October 7. Mark that on your calendar with a few extra stars around it!
