(november-notes)

Released Friday, April 9, 2021

Written by Eli Lev
Recorded at Virginia Arts Studio in Charlottesville, VA
Produced and Engineered by Taylor Rigg

Rising singer-songwriter and global citizen Eli Lev is making the world a smaller place, one song at a time. Eli pens lyrics and melodies for everyday enlightenment—songs that resonate because they’re heartfelt, earthy, and offer the wisdom he’s gained through lifelong travel and self-discovery.

Prior to becoming a full time musician, the Silver Spring, MD native spent three years as an 8th grade English teacher on the Navajo Nation in Northern Arizona. The indigenous traditions he learned during this time are the inspiration for his Four Directions project. Just as each cardinal direction holds unique characteristics in the Navajo tradition, so do each of the albums in Eli’s ‘Four Directions Project.’ Together, the series imaginatively and intrepidly connects spheres and generations within a body of work that is irresistibly uplifting, emotionally resonant, and down-to-earth authentic.

Eli explains, “We are surrounded by four directions, and each has distinctive attributes, powers, and teachings according to Navajo traditions. For example, because the sun rises in the east, it is the first direction and source of new ideas and inspiration. With that in mind, I started my EP series in 2017 with All Roads East, echoing the sounds of my youth and upbringing (Alt-Country/Americana). I released Way Out West the following year, where I experimented with the frontiers of folk tropes and melodies (Indie Folk). For 2019’s Deep South, I went back to my southern roots with a truly modern and powerful sound (Folk Rock/Pop). The final piece in 2021 is the more introspective True North (Acoustic/Singer-Songwriter).”

The northern direction in Navajo belief is that of the black night, of reflection, of quietude, of completion, and the stage where we get the highest amount of understanding from events and actions. Eli said, “This project holds and projects all of my life experiences from growing up in Maryland, studying in Indiana, my time as a teacher in Arizona, living abroad in Israel and Andorra, and finally coming back home to Maryland and becoming a full-time independent musician.I felt it important to follow the order and the characteristics of the four directions belief system as it holds deep wisdom and kept me on track and guided me through the entire project.”

The final piece of the collection, True North, is composed of a series of songs that were written throughout Eli’s musical career. The EP was recorded during sessions with producer Taylor Rigg in a cabin in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Rigg’s ability to create sonic landscapes rooted in instrumentation were brought to life and elevated by the riverside setting nestled among the picturesque rolling mountains.

LYRICS

Holding it close this time
Tell me of her, I'm fine
You'll never know what you do to me

All that we have won't grow
Falling is hard, I know
You make it so easy, believe me

And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do

Holding my tongue, it's real
Tell me the truth, I'll heal
Taking it slow before you go

And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do
And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do

You're all that I want and more
I'd say but I know your sort
I wish I could be someone you need
You need

And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do
And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do for you
Do for you

Spring - With Jon Henry

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: https://ditto.fm/white-lies-the-hollow-men

‘White Lies’ is The Hollow Men at his most stripped and vulnerable. Mostly composed of just vocals and piano over gentle synths, the emotional new single is a simple love song written about someone who constantly lies and the inevitable heartbreak that follows.
