Ellipsis - Preface (2020) [Hi-Res]

Growing up, Jeoff Harris grew up harmonizing with house appliances at the age of two while his father, a music-minister in Colorado Springs, taught him advanced musical theory. He quickly learned to record himself. Now, Harris unleashes his emotive harmonies over analog synth chords and contemporary electronic percussion and has donned the name ellipsis.

With a deeply introspective and cathartic approach to alternative-pop music, ellipsis provides a musical backdrop for listeners who want to engage with their serious side.

ellipsis’ first three solo singles “Different”, “Dangerous Game”, and “Beating” - all released in 2020 - take listeners on a multi-faceted roller coaster of catchy hooks, danceable rhythms, and eerie chords set to Harris’ introspective lyrics while he pines through the struggles and triumphs of modern love. The clean, crisp production (through the collaboration of producer Alex Utay and Jeoff Harris himself) showcases a polished, mysterious, and shadowy energy that augments Harris’ openly honest lyrics describing the pervasive tribulations of romance in a world filled with social angst, uncertainty, and ever-growing complexity. The healthy tension of ethereal soundscapes and tasteful electronic crescendos set to such raw and personal lyrics yield an intoxicating and sultry brew that stays with you and becomes instantly relatable.

“If these songs can make someone feel less alone about the darkness that they’re dealing with, while also giving people something to dance to, I think that would be the goal.” Harris says, “I want people to know that they aren’t alone with their problems. We’re all on the same team and we all go through really complex shit. It’s easy to forget how similar we all are sometimes. Hopefully some of this music can be a liaison for people.”
