Born Again

2020 full-length debut from Ellis, Born Again takes place in spaces both intimate and vast, ordinary and near-mythic: warm beds and lonely church pews, restless cities and desolate forests and the furthest reaches of the cosmos. Produced by Jake Aron (Snail Mail, Solange, Grizzly Bear) and recorded partly at Arons Brooklyn studio, Born Again arrives as the follow-up to Elliss debut EP The Fuzza 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 Elliss unhurried melodies, starkly confessional lyrics, and the luminous vocal work shes shown in opening for artists like Soccer Mommy and Alvvays.
