Album Notes

We take an approach to sound that, while rooted in rock, is linear and idea-driven, attempting to encompass the multidimensionality of the human experience. By contrasting stretches of pristine simplicity with moments of seething, primordial chaos, we are constantly reaching toward that as-yet-unheard moment of sound that will ultimately propel us all into unrealized dimensions of consciousness. Or something like that.

But you should listen to it, because if we could've expressed it in words we'd have been writers.


History:

The first part of the Ellipsis saga took place in Amherst MA, where we spent summers between years at our respective colleges living under the same roof and tirelessly exploring and creating music together. Here, in our primordial stages, we played regular parties and basement shows with encouraging results. We grew in leaps and bounds each summer we spent together, and it was here that we defined our musical voices and refined our collective style.

In late 2003, we found ourselves moving to Boston to devote ourselves more fully to our music. Since then, we have played frequent shows all over eastern MA and have written or refined most of the songs included on Weight of the Sun. Released in July 2005, this our newest album and first full length was put out by the self-formed Penguin Recording Company label.
