Watch the "Sahara" music video, directed by Satriani's son, ZZ, below.

 

The Elephants of Mars marks Satriani's first studio album since 2020's Shapeshifting. The coronavirus pandemic forced the guitarist to postpone the album's accompanying tour, which now kicks off in April. Instead, he used his forced downtime to write two new albums, one instrumental and one featuring vocals from friend and frequent collaborator Ned Evett.
