Edit history

'Black Words' is the new single let loose from the lips of The Ellis Collective, the second release from their forthcoming album 'Carry'. 'Black Words' is a sentiment that features heavily on their second album - a patchwork of emotion that recounts the sadness, sickness, love and indecision that weaves its way through the fabric of everyday Australian life. On 'Black Words' the band introduces a carefully crafted dark and melancholic sound - a sound that is as emotive as it is difficult to characterise. While The Ellis Collective’s brutally honest take on Australian song writing is hard to pigeon hole, it has been described as: • 'an unplugged drones' - Jeff Apter, The Sydney Morning Herald • 'a classic Australian sound' - Richard Kingsmill, Triple J • 'an acoustic roots slice of Australian Gothic’ - Chris Cobcroft, 4ZZZ Music Director Descriptions aside, The Ellis Collective's unmistakeably Australian sound continues to resonate with audiences across the country.
