Gilbert Releases An Elf in the Modern World

Gilbert has released An Elf in the Modern World as the first preview of the five-track Elvish collection. Gilbert said the song was written about becoming caught up in consumer culture and becoming accustomed to the algorithm knowing their thoughts in real time. Elvish was recorded at Studio Cobra in Stockholm, with Martin Konie Ehrencrona as producer.

Gilbert approached the EP with the intention to leave the door open to wonder. After playing guitar in theatre and in the Stockholm groups Sticky Baby and The Zaps, Gilbert began making music under their own name in 2026. Gilbert will make their first live performance in the United Kingdom on 20 October at The Social in London, as part of a PNKSLM night.

The Elvish tracklist includes Melanie, An Elf In The Modern World, Lovers Do, Goodbye and Royal Blue. The collection therefore contains five tracks, with An Elf In The Modern World serving as its first preview.
