Ellington 's Top Song: Wide Awake And Smiling Buy Album

Billboard

After their debut EP The Joy We Keep In earned them some dedicated fans, Ellington worked relentlessly to start recording a batch of new songs they could develop even further - and introduce to a wider audience. Enlisting the help of producer Matt Malpass (Copeland, Lydia) and some special guest stars (Matthew Thiessen (Relient K), Jeff Turner (Say Anything) and Leighton Antelman (Lydia)), the six-track record sounds phenomenal for a duo self-releasing it. Jake Bosci's warm and inviting vocals barely register a whisper above the atmospheric, dream-like guitar work, moving away from the meloncholic self-loathing most indie-pop bands center on, instead focusing on love and all the senses it manipulates with its gentle embrace. "She said it's not hard to fall in love / The hardest part is proving that love is what you wanted / and what you'll need for the rest of your life," sings Bosci on "Wide Awake and Smiling," glimmering with sentiment and optimism.

We don't write love songs, we write songs about life. If our songs are full of love then maybe our lives are just awesome!? We still have day jobs, want to make music everyday for the rest of our lives and put a smile on your face. Our songs are honest, We can write you what you want but if it's not honest we never want to see it again. We love you!
