Holed up in a cabin in Blackheath in the Blue Mountains for almost two months, Sydney artist Ernest Ellis wrote most of what is his stunning debut album. The album is called 'Hunting', a title reflective of the process, themes and environment faced whilst making this record. A prolific writer, Ernest Ellis draws inspiration from characters that range from David Lynch to Larry David, as well as being an avid reader of both classic and modern literature. All of these elements seemingly shine through in his music, which covers truly expansive territory. Perhaps where Ellis is most expansive however is lyrically. Ellis' lyrics are often challenging and at times confronting but they are voiced in such a way that you swallow them with pleasure and believe that maybe everything is all ok. The album crosses various terrains from anthemic and dramatic guitar fueled tracks (Loveless, Want For Anything) to pastoral acoustic moments (Valley Song) to lilting and ear catching pop (Heading For The Cold, Bad Blood). It's a bold and ambitious collection of songs that showcases a writer of great talent and at times a challenging vision.
