Release Notes:
Ellie Come Home is nothing less than a five-person orchestra. Combining
classical instrumentation with pop appeal, this band has more power than a
collision of celestial bodies. Piano, violin, cello and rich vocal harmonies
give this moody rock band their signature sound.
Formed in 2005 in the Midwestern college town of Columbia, Missouri, Ellie Come
Home is like a classical danish with a creamy indie-rock filling. TheyÆre like
Beethoven if he drank PBR and watched reruns of ôDawsonÆs Creek.ö
Last year, the band released their self-titled debut EP. Now, theyÆre following
up with their first full-length, PRIMARY SOURCES, which was recorded at home by
the band and is now available from Emergency Umbrella Records.
Combining an affinity for classical instrumentation with pop tendencies, the
band plays in a variety of styles, from intricate layered compositions to simple
rock songs. But always, the glorious strings and magical three-part vocal
harmonies remain at the center of the music.
Who is Ellie Come Home? Do they actually know what they're doing? Well, there's
Jenn who is an expert on the cello and has a music degree. Maura plays violin,
and she also studied music for many years.
Seth has played piano since age 3, but most of his music training comes from the
dozen or so different bands he's played in. A lot of the time he was playing
drums, which probably has something to do with why he occasionally bloodies his
hands from banging too hard on his keyboard.
And of course, Matt is a bass wizard, and Joey is a like an army of drummers all
rolled into one compact soldier of rock.
Ellie Come Home will tour extensively in 2006 and 2007 to support PRIMARY
SOURCES.
