Release: ELLIS - BORN AGAIN ELLIS - BORN AGAIN

ELLIS - BORN AGAIN (Fat Possum Records) Produced by Jake Aron (Snail Mail, Solange, Grizzly Bear) and recorded partly at Aron’s Brooklyn studio, Born Again arrives as the follow-up to Ellis’s debut EP The Fuzz—a self-released, self-produced effort that promptly led to a deal with Fat Possum Records.  In a departure from the viscerally charged dream-pop of The Fuzz, Born Again unfolds with a mesmerizing subtlety, gracefully spotlighting Ellis’s unhurried melodies, starkly confessional lyrics, and the luminous vocal work the Ontario-based singer/songwriter Linnea Siggelkow has shown in opening for artists like Soccer Mommy and Alvvays.
