The Letting Go

 

A few days ago I rediscovered Ellis Island Sound while making a backup on an external drive. EIS were a mostly instrumental duo formed by Peter Astor and David Sheppard in the late 90's. I listened to their album Regions from 2014 once again after a long time and was surprised that their sound still works well for me. They created a soundscape with mostly instrumental songs somewhere between neo-Krautrock, folk, jangly guitars and some African influences. Nothing more or less than another sadly forgotten band.
