yellowviolet

One man band from Wisconsin. yellowviolet is lyrically driven original music. The composition is experimental and features unusual percussion over a solid bass groove. yellowviolet comes from the deranged mind of singer/songwriter Tom Ellington. The idea is simple. The raw energy that is obtained when a song is created can never be emulated. yellowviolet captures that energy by literally recording at that moment, instead of trying to copy it later. In a strange sense, every song is a live recording... recorded one track at a time. With a blend of clever lyrics, catchy rhythms, irregular instrumentation and a tendency to drop off the deep end from time to time, yellowviolet will not disappoint your ear's sense of adventure. You can listen to the semi-complete yellowviolet collection at yellowviolet.org, as well as a brand new song released every other week - guaranteed.
