Nathan Ellis: “Balance Beam” from s/t EP (No Sleep, 8/7/12)
In advance of the rock-based return of The Casket Lottery, singer-songwriter Nathan Ellis offered a three-track EP with his first true solo material. “Balance Beam,” like the other tracks, showed Ellis’s softer side, pairing acoustic melodies with glistening harmonies and a dynamic range. And with a tom-heavy crescendo, it gets pretty loud for a soft song.
Pretty cool list of songs for 2012.
