EJ Hallows' dawning starts in Liverpool, UK. By the water
and concrete, amongst the rich cultural heritage of the city, he fell in love
with songwriting; with storytelling, and set out to capture his thoughts in
song. As a result, they have become an amalgamation of folk, Britpop, country,
Merseybeat, and Americana. They are inspired by singers and songwriters like
Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, and John Lennon, by writers like
Anton Chekhov and Salinger, by photographers like W. Eugene Smith and William
Klein, by painters like Francis Bacon and Zdzisław Beksiński, and by poets
like Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, to name a few. Albums are his medium, by
which he strives to capture some sort of lightning in a bottle. Each one is
a slice of life—half himself, half someone else. Consequently, if you want
to understand him, you can get a pretty good idea by listening to his albums.
