“Full of delicacy, precision and gentle delight” The Guardian
“Absolutely beautiful” Zoe Ball BBC Radio 2
“Really impressive” Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2

Since emerging on the UK folk scene with her 2022 debut album Dwelling by the Weir, Ellie
Gowers has captivated audiences with songs rooted in folklore, ecology, and the nuanced
stories of her hometown, Warwick. Lauded by The Guardian as “full of delicacy, precision,
and gentle delight,” the album established her as a compelling new presence on the UK
touring circuit.

While she remains deeply connected to the folk tradition, Ellie’s latest music marks a bold
evolution in her sound — drawing inspiration from the likes of MIPSO and Jeff Buckley.
Written in the wake of a demanding year on the road, her new material explores themes of
distance, longing, and emotional duality, signalling a more expansive and contemporary
direction in her songwriting.

Summer 2024 saw the release of her long-anticipated new EP- You The Passenger, which
has already garnered national attention — including airplay on BBC Radio 2 (Mark
Radcliffe), 6 Music (Lauren Laverne’s Fantastic Beats), and a featured spot on the RADMAC
show. The video for “A Moment” premiered via KLOF, and her work continues to find
support across major playlists and tastemaker outlets.
