Irish artist and songwriter Dove Ellis has released “Love Is / Pale Song”. The two-track offering arrives alongside the announcement of his highly anticipated debut album, Blizzard, set for release on Friday, December 5th. With “Love Is” as the focus track, the double single captures Dove at his most direct and immediate yet, pairing raw lyricism with driving rhythms and atmospheric textures. The album was self-produced and recorded in London and Liverpool with mixing by Sophie Ellis and Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Dijon, Mk.Gee, Bon Iver). Next week, Dove Ellis will embark on his first-ever US Tour. He’ll open for New York rock band Geese and also play newly announced select headline shows in Los Angeles & New York City.
His debut single “To The Sandals” introduced this world with striking clarity. A tender, reflective moment, it has earned near unanimous praise from the likes of Stereogum, The FADER, Wonderland, DIY, and others. “Every song could sound like this and I’d still beg for a thousand more,” said Paste. “He sounds like he’s been here forever.” With incredible Spotify support that saw Dove’s debut added to over 40 Spotify playlists; ‘To The Sandals’ has amassed 400k global streams, establishing Dove as a rare new voice capable of bridging emotional depth with understated scale.
In addition to the Geese run, Dove will make his debut TV live performance at Other Voices in Dingle, Ireland performing alongside Olivia Dean, Dry Cleaning, and Florence Road, before returning to London for a headline show at the prestigious ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts) to mark the release of the album (Dec 9).
