Cardiff based artist Ellie James
who goes by the stage name Ellie Makes Music which is essentially taking the
Ronseal approach to artist naming activities and who are we to argue? This new
single from the one woman singing machine, 'Mountains', is anything but obvious
though. The off-kilter clickety-clack rhythms and stabbed organs are held
together by James' furious acoustic guitar playing and pure vocal. There are
elements of Flight Of The Conchords about the arrangements and more than a
smidge of Jake Morley to the songwriting which are both very good things but
previous reviewers have likened Ellie Makes Music to Taylor Swift (no, just no)
and Laura Marling (maybe) and I think that's just lazy journalism. What this
artist has in abundance is a confidence to try new things, push on unopened
doors and, as borne out by the lyrics, to stand up for her own individuality
regardless of what the sheep think. Sublime and refreshing stuff.
