Tickets are now available for ELLUR at The Grace!
With press support from several key indie press titans (NME, The Line Of Best Fit, Dork, Clash, CMU) continuing to
gather pace, in addition to countless BBC Radio 1 (Jack Saunders, Gemma Bradley, Jess Iszatt, Mollie King) and BBC 6
Music (Chris Hawkins, Tom Robinson) spins, the indie riser is certainly building strong momentum across the board.
Whilst on the live front, autumn UK tour supports alongside Brooke Combe and Pigeon Detectives have significantly
increased her profile, with further dates with both acts lined up next month, ahead of what promises to be an
extensive festival run this summer with several slots already locked in.
Speaking ahead of her first 2024 release, Ellur explained: “In my life I’ve witnessed the disintegration of relationships
that seemed so full of love. ‘Satellites’ is a song about that. When approaching the writing with Dan (Bryer), I told him
I wanted to write a song that felt timeless both in lyrics and melody. Inspired by Joni Mitchell’s ‘Both Sides Now’ and
seeing her perform it with just an acoustic guitar at roughly my age at Isle of Wight in 1970, and then decades later
with a full orchestra and have it convey a totally different emotional landscape to the original performance. In a bit of
a pretentious way, I wanted the same song for myself and I really love what we created. Tim Malkin (producer) then
wrote a string arrangement for the track and I loved how the strings really guided and tied up all the emotional
nuance that we’d intentionally left so open-ended in the writing. It’s a really beautiful song that I’m really, really proud
of. I loved working with the people who I’ve worked with on it. I hope one day I can perform it with a full orchestra
myself. That would be the dream.
