David Ell announced himself with his debut album Wreckingball, a record full of dark, brooding and powerful pop songs.
Recorded and mixed at Cava Studios in Glasgow, following in the footsteps of some of the UK's greatest artists, Wreckingball was his first studio
album, and has been reviewed as "epic", having a "big big sound", "lush and full" and simply "the best debut album in ages". The tracks touches on loss of faith, love and identity. "For raw heart-on-the-sleeve pop, look no further"
While the tracks on his debut feature all lend themselves to more pared down acoustic versions, there is no doubt the finished sound of this album is a big big band sound richly crafted with layer upon layer of guitar and keyboard parts driving the strong melodies at the heart of this album. David Ell is a multi-instrumentalist, he does everything on the album. It's an eclectic sound, mixing the best traditions of classic British and American pop-rock but with more than a hint of European electronica - unsurprisingly, the album is picking up fans from all over the world.
David Ell followed his debut album up in 2012 with his second studio album entitled Dance of the Furies. Working with one of the country's top producers, David Ell's second album is an instrumental ten track piece with a distinctive theme comprising a dramatic story set to music and complimented by striking visual artwork. With classical influences coming to the fore, it's an arresting change of direction from the indie rock sound of his first album. In Dance of the Furies, David Ell has created a vast and stirring musical soundscape, showcasing the talents of one of the country's finest modern artists. Dance of the Furies features as one of NTL Music Radio's top 100 albums of the year from any artist
