George Ellias’ debut EP aspires to basest troubadour traditions – harmonica blaring and vocals wobbling, the L.A.-based songwriter trades in back-porch melancholia and sharp vignettes told in their rawest form. Ellias, who lived the Bay Area and New Orleans before landing in L.A. three-plus years ago, is working on a full-length album for a fall release. Roland Pagosan’s video for “Ghost Town” captures the itinerant songwriter’s aesthetic quite nicely.
