Purchase:

Formerly the pilot of Fair Heron from Lexington, KY, Ellie Herring is now firmly entrenched in her new solo project. Her first release, Flailing in Attraction, is a truly magical experience. It is deeply rooted in darkness but has a mystical beauty that comes from a female touch. The opening track has already captured attention and is a new favorite of Robert Disaro. This album rewrites modern electronics, blending the worlds of IDM, Witchhouse, and Ambient to a new level and may very well inspire media to coin a new genre altogether.

The opening is slow and screwed, a percussive blast entitled “What to Know”. Ellie's vocals taunt and haunt whilst gazed melodies swarm above. The bass vibrates below. Truly sensual, it embodies the calm before, during, and after the storm. “Touch Point” is rife with clicks and swells fading into symphonic stabs. Highly cerebral, your head will sway and nod: back, forth, and sideways. “Full Blown” awakens you with a jolt of blindingly fast beauty. The sonics of the new romantic, it encompasses the tapping of an amorous drum machine. “Hunter's Dreamboat” plunges into the darkest of forests and glistens in the fog-laden midnight air. Primal yet synthetic, the melodies arpeggiated, the grids chopped, happily lost and never found. Rounding out and flailing in attraction, “Ever Ever Said” is soft-spoken yet silently shouted. It falls like a broken tape with sighs and moans in a subliminal chorus. A perfect lullaby, a perfect sleep.
