Following a 2 week support tour across Europe with Fat Dog, and in anticipation of a slot at Mutations Festival, Brighton’s Ellis·D shares frantic goth-punk single ‘Shakedown’ via Crafting Room Recordings (Ideal Living, SoftTop). The track was written and recorded entirely by Ellis·D himself (aka Ellis Dickson) at Hackney Road studios with Shuta Shinoda (Hot Chip, Jenny Beth)
Discussing the single, Ellis says:
“I channeled a lot of fear and frustration into this track when I was writing it. It was very cathartic. I wanted to try and create something from the point of view of someone on a total ego trip who exudes complete over-confidence as means of bottling up their true anxieties. It was nice – for an hour or so.”
A screaming mental breakdown drenched in feedback and set to music. No one but Ellis·D could craft something this extravagant, introverted and down right brilliant. Ellis·D has the eccentric vocal qualities of David Byrne and the majesty of Prince, if he came from Brighton and wore black.
