Jack Ellis’ latest single ‘Disdained’ out now!

Posted Fri, 23 Sep 2016




For Fans Of... Ben Howard, Jeff Buckley, Nick Mulvey, Dry the River


"...provocative, emotive, and insightful..."
- The Revue



“…a dark, brooding song that’s boosted by Ellis’ vocal range...”
- Cultured Vultures



Multi-instrumentalist Jack Ellis' latest single Disdained is out now via District South Records and available to buy on iTunes and stream on Spotify.

In addition to the release, the video for Disdained recently premiered on The Revue and is also available to watch via Jack's YouTube channel now.



The single originally premiered on Cultured Vultures and you can also stream it now via Jack's Soundcloud page.



Disdained continues the story from Jack’s previous release, The Storm, exploring themes of love, loss and failure to address the imbalances of a broken relationship. Jack describes Disdained as the “ultimate destruction of love; where the loss of once being loved leaves a dark, empty, troubled soul”. Disdained builds slowly with Jack’s warm, rugged vocal carrying the song effortlessly. As the momentum builds, so does Jack’s sense of desperation, creating a sound the likes of Jeff Buckley and Ben Howard would be proud of. Despite an undeniable connection between the singles, The Storm and Disdained, both tracks offer something different, thus allowing them to firmly stand alone in their own right, and further increasing Jack’s already impressive musical résumé.

After playing in bands for several years, Jack took the decision to go solo in 2014 in order to focus on his songwriting and develop his own distinctive sound. The opportunity to play bass, guitar, piano and sing has allowed Jack to really stretch his creative muscles and, with the success of previous singles Pocket of Lint and Stepping Stones, it is clear that Jack’s music is making an impact on the wider music world.

Jack was voted Best Breakthrough Act 2015 and was nominated for Best Live Act at The Cardiff Music Awards. He has also received radio plays from BBC Wales as well as receiving significant support from the likes of Dermot O’Leary on BBC Radio 2, including being invited to perform live in the studio. Jack has also gained praise from well-regarded publications including Cultured Vultures, With Guitars, Gigslutz and Little Indie Blogs to name a few. This has culminated in Jack becoming one of the rising stars of Welsh music, an artist who looks set to continue his growth through the release of his latest single.

Disdained is out now via District South Records and available to buy on iTunes and stream on Spotify.
