Imagine if David Byrne and David Bowie merged in a bizarre scene from a 1980s sci-fi bonanza. Then imagine if that new beast wandered into a goth club during that same era. Half glam rock, half neurotic punk but fully stylistic in its musical carnage. The result is ELLiS-D. An explosion of whiplash riffs, psychedelic break downs, false endings and rip-roaring returns, 'Drifting' distills the essence of ELLiS·D's "exhilarating" (Far Out) live show into a frenetic 7 minute voyage - A live show that last year ushered in two nationwide headline tours, festival appearances at Kendal Calling and Left of The Dial and a two-week tour of Europe with Fat Dog, to be followed up with a second leg this spring. Sophomore EP Spill on Crafting Room Recordings is written and performed entirely by ELLiS·D himself (aka Ellis Dickson) at Hackney Road studios with Shuta Shinoda (Hot Chip, Jenny Beth), 'Drifting' offers the closing track of ELLiS·D's upcoming Spill EP, a seven song jetstream of rocket-fuelled, goth-tinged glam-punk, infested with 21st century paranoia.
