Description
Written and performed entirely by ELLiS.D himself (aka Ellis Dickson) at Hackney Road studios with Shuta Shinoda (Hot Chip, Jenny Beth), 'Spill' is a seven song jetstream ofrocket-fuelled, goth-tinged glam-punk, infested with 21st century paranoia:
"The Spill EP is a not so subtle expression of conflict between personality and character",Ellis explains,"An uneasy alliance of nervous apprehension and joyful abandon. Throwing myself dramatically onto the funeral pyre one moment, only to get up and frantically twist my limbs about the next."
The brainchild of drummer-turned-solo musician Ellis Dickson, ELLiS.D has garnered a growing reputation in the past 12 months for a tireless touring schedule and increasingly electric live shows, recently described as"one of the most exhilarating live sets I've seen in months."byFar Out Magazine.
Backed by continuously shifting set of Brighton musicians - in addition to playing drums across the world with Fat Dog andJohnny Borrell's Jealous Nostril project - his solo show has performed with the likes ofRazorlight (at Brighton Dome and Eventim Apollo)The Goa Express,Flip Top Head,Melts,Plantoid,Vinyl Williams,Youth SectorandThe DSM IV.
