Brighton’s ELLiS·D (Ellis Dickson) shares his new single titled ‘Carousel’. With all parts written and recorded by Dickson himself at Hackney Road Studios with producer Shuta Shinoda (Hot Chip, Jenny Beth), ‘Carousel’ continues ELLiS·D’s streak of relentlessly wired, ‘on-edge’ rock, finely polluted with a worldly 21st century paranoia, as Dickson himself explains: “‘Carousel’ is an attempt at mitigating the anxious, paranoid wreck that lives inside us and wants to spoil everything. A cathartic fuck you to the parading cowards ripping up the rulebook on human decency in…
