THE LITTLE UNSAID

[Anditwassummer]

if you like a guy singing in a high register,  check this dude out.   John Elliott is the guy behind THE LITTLE UNSAID.  I adore this band, and this man.  He is, like MIKA, a unique songwriter.   His songs, like MIKA's, can be reduced to a singer and a single instrument.   His melodies are lovely.  His lyrics are frequently extremely dark.  He is more folktronica than pop. Good music crosses genres for me.  He tours and records mostly with a full band.  His musicianship is stunning.    He is a recent winner of the Steve Reid InNOVAtion Award for boundary-pushing new music creators.

 

The music industry is very different now.  That this band is not supported by a label is only sad because it's so hard to do it yourself and have time for your music.  If you live in England and can see one of his shows this fall, do it! The energy is fantastic and do not  I will be terribly jealous.  

 

Sorry the links are so big.
