The stars flickered and flashed as he gazed outwards from his bedroom window into the great beyond. There was an underlying sense of something else, there had to be more than life on earth. How else could the sun burn so brightly in the sky millions of miles away? How else could the stars dance between planets like magnificent fairies against the backdrop of a black curtain? Perhaps that was all that this was, a performance to be watched and observed from down below, the backdrop to something more. 

Tom Ellis is set to release a new EP via Lyssna, the record label run by Mohammed Al Harbiti, Adam Stromstedt and Flord King. It's a beautiful, pensive affair with deep poignant intentions. Highly recommended.
