Ellis Mano Band – Keep It Simple (Single)
Swiss-based four-piece blues-rock band the Ellis Mano Band will release their second album entitled ‘Ambedo’ on Friday 25th June 2021 on Jazzhaus Records. The first single ‘Keep It Simple’ begins with a fluid keyboard tone provided by Manuel Halter and soft drumming courtesy of Nico Looser that creates thoughts of travelling along.
Lead vocalist Chris Ellis sings “Parts of me were broken, parts of you were sad” with a soft delivery that is very easy on the ear whilst Edis Mano’s electric guitar solo reminds this scribe of our friend Chris Rea but it might also appeal to fans of John Mayer.
The song is framed with Severin Graf’s bass combined with Leslie Bogart and Cathryn Lehmann on backing vocals and because of the skilful song production no one is crowding anyone out and it just flows naturally.
To summarise, Ellis Mano Band has created a slick contemporary blues-rock song with elements of folk weaved in and I have a feeling that this single will have a wide appeal.
Ellis Mano Band’s latest single ‘Keep It Simple’ is out now. Their second album ‘Ambedo’ is released on Friday 25th June 2021 on Jazzhaus Records.
