ELLIOT MINOR are set to release their new single ‘Electric High’ on October 5th and second album ‘Solaris’ October 19th.
‘Electric High’ is said to show “a more mature leap forward in every department for Elliot Minor, from playing to song writing, production and ambition.” Front man and songwriter Alex Davies started writing the new material as soon as the band came off the road in December last year. The new songs pull from the band’s experiences of making and touring their first album, as songwriter Alex Davies says “I had heard about the pressures of a second album on the songwriter and I can assure you it is true, you have all your life to write your first album and months to write your second. Fortunately I had a load of melodies running around my head and lyric ideas that pulled from the changes in my life over the years that Elliot Minor was formed till now. The majority of the songs are uplifting as I was being positive in a pretty tough year to work through and the others are more personal and intimate.
To mark this release they have posted a brand spanking new music video online for your visual pleasure, check it out…
