The latest release by E.L. Davis “Better Than Me” and the last song on the new EP “Brave Songs” takes a noticeably crunchier turn. “We just wanted to lay down a straight forward rock song with big drums, expansive bass and crunchy guitars and this was as close to playing live in the studio as we could get”. When asked about the lyrics Davis said “It would be easy to peg this as an exercise in self-loathing, but if you listen closely, there’s more to it”.
E.L. Davis is an American singer-songwriter currently based in Hong Kong. Before relocating to Asia, he was active in the San Francisco music scene, playing with various bands through the mid-90s and early 2000s. After a 15-year hiatus from making music, he quit his day job and rediscovered his passion for songwriting. On Brave Songs, Davis joins forces with previous members of his band Mission Mile, reconciling his musical past with his future.
