I think my new favourite artist is Ellie Herring. Without sounding like a raging feminist, it’s bloody lovely to have a GOOD female electro musician/producer. I’m not going to tell you who she sounds like or who her production skills replicate. She’s, as hard as it is to believe with music right now, unique.
Her debut EP, Flailing In Attraction (awesome title) was released this year and her full length LP, Until It Feels Foreign is out this winter. I absolutely adore her track, Died To Meet You. It’s so atmospheric and so perfect. She creates music that you can just close your eyes and forget everything to. The best musicians makes music like that. Her music is beautiful, she’s beautiful. Maybe here in England we’ll catch on to her amazing talent, I really do hope so.
The music she makes has a dark and mysterious feel to it. Most music I listen to is like this, which makes it so easy for me to love Ellie Herring’s music. Tracks such as Hunters Dreamboat and Touch Point evoke such wonderful imagery and feelings. I have no idea why she isn’t huge, talent like this should not be ignored at all. I just can’t stop listening to her music. It reminds me slightly of The XX mixed with James Blake and a hint of The Weeknd.
I remember when I first started listening to a band called Sensual Harassment, and I’ve got the same feeling I did when I listened to them when I listened to Ellie Herring. My words do not do her music/talent any justice. Check out the tracks on her Soundcloud.
