Ellery Twining’s new solo release: Weatherall

Ellery Twining is the alter ego of Rich Freitas and has recently released his debut solo record Revenge. He has been drumming for almost two decades, performing with bands like Low-Beam and Slander, and whilst patiently developing his own solo musical style during that time.

“Weatherall” is his newest release and delves deeply into the subject of cross-generational relationships. Archival images from the 1990’s underground dance party scene in Mystic, Connecticut are used in the song’s supporting video, which was produced and directed by photographer Michelle Gemma, who is renowned for her well-practiced skills of creating a sense of wonder and mysticism.

Twining recorded his first album in a log cabin in his native Connecticut. His musical productions have a pleasantly rural edge to them, with acoustic guitars, laid-back drumming, adventurous bass and exciting hints of electric guitar and piano adding colour and a meditative ambiance.

The song and video are both a tribute to British producer and DJ Andrew Weatherall who sadly passed away as Twining was writing the songs for Revenge. The song is a sentimental masterpiece, with an emotive drive supported by a poetic lyricism.

The music video adds a fantastic atmosphere to this already great song, which will certainly have you pining for more Twining production.
