Elephant is the fourth studio album by the American rock duo The White Stripes. It was released on April 1, 2003, through V2, XL, and Third Man records. The album was produced by the band's guitarist and lead vocalist Jack White and continues their "back-to-basics" approach seen in White Blood Cells (2001).
It was mostly recorded at Maida Vale and Toe Rag Studios across two weeks in April 2002 and was produced without the use of computers, instead utilizing a duct-taped 8 track tape machine and various gear no more recent than 1963. Elephant peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 and topped the UK Albums Chart.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) have certified the album 2× Platinum and 3× Platinum respectively, and over 4 million copies have been sold worldwide. The album spawned the hit singles The Hardest Button to Button and Seven Nation Army, which became a sports anthem and has continued to experience commercial success. I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself and There's No Home for You Here were also released as singles.
Elephant received widespread acclaim from music critics and became a defining event of the 2000s garage rock revival. The band earned several accolades for the album, including a nomination for Album of the Year and winning Best Alternative Music Album and Best Rock Song (Seven Nation Army) at the 2004 Grammy Awards. It is considered one of the greatest albums of the 21st century and of all-time, being included on several all-time lists.
