Leeds-based song-writer Elson makes intimate, introverted, highly personal compositions infused with a 70s psych edge.
Following up from debut single ‘Silent Observer’, which also came out on new Leeds label Odd Job Music, ‘Wandering’ is the artist’s second instalment and is accompanied by an animated debut music video.
Led by a hypnotic guitar riff, Elson matches lilting vocal melodies with a rugged production, laced with drifting chords and subtle harmonies.
First track ‘Silent Observer’ was featured by Gideon Coe on BBC 6music, with the presenter also previewing the single launch at Hyde Park Book Club. Further play has been garnered on Radio X, Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing.
There will be a London launch show for ‘Wandering’ at The Fiddler’s Elbow in Camden on 31st March 2019, a debut for Elson in the capital.
Odd Job Music is a fresh independent label based in Leeds, linking up with Welsh distributors PYST to release the track. ‘Wandering’ represents the second instalment in a series of three Elson singles for the label.
Recalling George Harrison with it’s gentle melody and loud/quiet dynamic juxtaposition, the video borrows from a public information film released by the Ministry of Health in the 1950s.
The single itself was released on 29th March – read our review
