Midwest indie-rock duo Elison release debut single ‘Meet Me Halfway’
Inspired by bands such as Sparklehorse, Dinosaur Jr, My Bloody Valentine and Big Thief, Elison unveil transcending debut single ‘Meet Me Halfway’.
Speaking about the new release, Elison share, “I (Marissa) spent much of my youth in relationships that lasted well beyond the time they should have. As the internet would have it I had recently reconnected with a few exes (yes, I know…a few) and in the reflective moments after our brief correspondences, this song willed itself out of me.
I wanted to capture the optimism I felt early on within the lyrics. Scott and I worked collaboratively with the instrumentation but he took on the production role and it’s like he knew exactly what I was trying to accomplish with the eerie sounds and swelling guitars underneath.
I feel we captured this foreboding and constant motion of being propelled forward in the soundscapes we created. The choruses hit just as my realizations did in those relationships. Powerful and empowering despite the demise — I was heading in a better direction.”
Immersive and atmospheric, “Meet Me Halfway” was recorded in Scott’s home studio, the song was principally written and sung by Marissa.
