NASHVILLE, TN (September 17, 2021) — San Francisco-based singer-songwriter and DIY artist EllaHarp has released her sophomore full-length album, Screaming Into The Void. The new album offers a unique blending of folk and Americana with pop sensibilities, highlighting dark, thoughtful lyrics and memorable hooks.
“My favorite albums are those that bring you into a visual and audio world of their own, with each track adding something to the last, and lyrics that you think about later without realizing that’s what you’re doing,” says EllaHarp. “Albums that leave you with a sort of melancholic hope that is unique to that experience. Of course music is as subjective as it gets, but if someone listening to Screaming Into The Void walked away with a bit of that feeling I’d be happy camping.”
Finding early media support by The Bluegrass Situation, PARADE and Thread, among others, the album features her own unique harp and banjo. Built based on the demand of touring, both instruments were designed by EllaHarp to fit in an airplane’s overhead compartment. Truly one-of-a-kind instruments, the harp and banjo are heard in enchanting performances throughout the new album’s nine tracks.
Laura Whitmore of PARADE raved about the album’s title track, saying: “sweetly rhythmic with lilting vocals…EllaHarp’s ‘Screaming Into the Void’ is both soothing and penetrating. The repeating harp arpeggiations carry the tune, while the lyrics express her intense frustration. The result is a lovely paradox.”
In celebration of the album’s release, EllaHarp will kick off a short run of shows on the west coast, starting tonight in Half Moon Bay, CA.
