man 04:21
pull up your pants and wipe your tears walk out that room like you didn’t just face your fears compose yourself like you were so willing look at the stars like it's appealing no one can trust a man no one can put their faith in a man It was just a little light drinking just a few sips or nothing no biggie said he was cold so we headed to the warmth didn’t realise all he wanted was my warmth no one can trust a man no one can put their faith in a man I shouldn’t have put my faith in a man

about

Still very early on in their musical journey, Ellena is on a constant quest to learn, collect and create new, unique and low budget DIY ways to capture interesting sounds. Currently, their recording setup is completely run off GarageBand, with the aid of an iRig and several adapters for vocals and guitar. As unorthodox as it is, the simplicity of this approach strips away the potential to overwork their music and to force them to face the essence of what they are trying to convey.

Heralded by singles 'love you' and 'earth', 'sombre thorax' is a turbulent pilgrimage through Ellena's adolescence.

This journey is exemplified through songs like ‘earth’ - a lyrically improvised track steeped in an ordinary moment, sitting cozy on a bed, staring out the window. ‘man’ is an unfettered tale of a contemptible act that took place at a party when they were 14 while ‘emergency’ is a paean to heavy pain medication and a “grumbly appendix”. ‘heard’ exhibits a more playful and sprightly side to fhae with the album as a whole being a bantam triumph of bedroom experimentation, layered guitar architecture and unshackled lyrical methods.
