Featuring Ellsworth's refined alt-country sound with his unbridled seasoned storytelling at the forefront, Cosmic Cannon Fodder takes the listener through a lyrical journey of resilience and explores what it means to be a human in the modern world. His perspective and fearless search for truth leaves nothing hidden on this upcoming collection of Americana gold.
“To me, the album is about love, resistance and loss. It’s about fighting through the fear of vulnerability to tell someone how you feel. It’s about fighting through the fear of repercussions for speaking truth to power. It’s about showing love through actions that support your community and it’s about trying to maintain your humanity through the depraved insanity of modern life. The title ‘Cosmic Cannon Fodder’ was inspired by the thought that as far as we know the big bang happened and every atom that ever was has just been pin-balling through space for billions of years. Somehow here we are trying to find meaning, love and community somewhere in the middle of the chaos.” Charles Ellsworth
The first three singles from the album, ‘The Gates’, ‘Avenue of the Giants’ and ‘Crazy Kelly’ are available now, with a further three singles set to follow prior to the album’s release - ‘Ripped to Ribbons’ on April 4, ‘If They Let Me Choose Forever’ on May 9 and ‘Another F***ing Tuesday’ on May 20.

Bio
Charles Ellsworth is an NYC singer-songwriter whose career has spanned decades and has taken him all over the globe. His musical journey started as a teenager, where he took lessons in the back of a guitar store in Arizona. Shortly after, Ellsworth became the bass player for indie-pop outfit Alaska & Me. The band saw success as a regional act and toured the West Coast until their 2009 split. After moving to Salt Lake City, Ellsworth began to write his own music and quickly found a home in the burgeoning local Americana scene. Over the next five years, he released multiple solo albums and an E.P. During that time, Ellsworth then spent several years touring nationally and internationally as a solo artist. In 2015, he brought his red-dirt rock to Brooklyn and has since released three albums. His third LP Honeysuckle Summer was recorded with Joe Reinhart (Hop Along, Algernon Cadwallader). Charles Ellsworth's music has evolved with him and matured into his signature alt-country sound. In 2022, he opened for Sarah Shook & The Disarmers at renowned Americana venue, Mercury Lounge in Tulsa, OK. That night, he struck up a friendship with Disarmers guitarist Blake Tallent who he partnered with to produce his forthcoming album, Cosmic Cannon Fodder.
