You can listen to “A Lonely Way To Go” Here

Ellen May was formed early 2022 in Perth, Western Australia, when Matt Matusik and vocalist Matt Branton connected via a local networking group. Demos and ideas were pinged back and forth, a friendship was made, and a musical bond was forged.

Ellen May’s debut EP ‘A Lonely Way To Go‘ is a 4 song collection of songs themed around the fact that we all die alone, even when surrounded by various relationships.

All 4 tracks on “A Lonely Way To Go” are well crafted songs with strong and catchy melodies coupled with memorable and perfectly placed vocals .

Opening track “How It Came To This” really peaked our interest, as it has an indie rock feel at the start . But, it developed into a stunning well crafted power pop gem . “Misconstrued “ shows of the great chemistry between Matusik and Branton. “Hawthorne” has a sad boy pop feel that the duo flawlessly executes . We had “Hawthorne” on endless repeat . Our favorite track is the closing track “Back To The Start” It is the kind of song that stays with you long after the music stops . We absolutely loved it .

Stunning melodies and brilliant lyrics make “A Lonely Way To Go “ from Ellen May an EP that you owe it to your ears to check out.
