Ellur
Yorkshire artist Ellur writes soaring indie guitar songs about growing up and acceptance. Every word counts in each Ellur song, the Halifax artist is a storyteller and lets listeners further into her world with every track.
Having already spawned lead singles including its title-track, ‘God Help Me Now’ and latest single ‘Yellow Light’ (BBC Radio 1’s Track Of The Week), Ellur’s new EP (produced by Joel Johnston of Far Caspian) showcases her anthemic sensibilities to perfection, taking influences from contemporaries including Sharon Van Etten, Sam Fender and Dora Jar.
Over the past year, Ellur has certainly established herself as a strong force within the emerging indie landscape with festival appearances at SXSW in Austin Texas, Reading & Leeds Festivals and shows with Robbie Williams and Blossoms. The gifted songwriter has also drawn plaudits throughout the press community (NME, Consequence of Sound, Dork, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, Clash), BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music with plays from Steve Lamacq, Chris Hawkins, Emily Pilbeam, Sian Eleri, Ellur and her vivacious live band are not ones to miss this Summer!
