That was brilliant - dark / gothic / driving beat / macabre delivery - great subtleties with the music / guitar dropping in and out

love it. on the surface it's such a simple song, but the production is spot on - the sounds are very carefully layered resulting in energy/drive delivered in an almost hushed voice. excellent.

great track, love the mellow smokey groove!

Lovin your music Ellis Swan heard you the world service today... Wow thanks

"...exercises of arcane obscurity, occasionally flecked with poetic brilliance; Swan’s I’ll Be Around is a cohesive piece of work, one large tale composed of disparate strands."

"Ellis Swan's other worldly reworked folk tales and murder ballads are unsettling, but incredibly seductive."

"...Swan’s LP is a decaying southern gothic world plucked straight from the mind of a displaced soul, a self-reflective odyssey that transports us into a long forgotten era. And it’s unlike anything else you’ll experience in music this year. "

<i>"Swan’s songs have patient movement: bass lines that crawl around in circles and fractured washes of texture. His weary, almost exhausted-sounding voice scrapes out a listener’s soul."</i>&#13;

<i>"...a Canadian artist living in Chicago, and gained some attention last year with his warped, nightmarish ballad Frankie and Charlie. In the bleary-eyed track ‘Evan Williams’, the twisted folk artist takes a more naturalistic route, but keeps that looming, leering edge to his music that makes it so striking."</i>&#13;
