Inspired by the brooding, infectious beats of 90s trip hop, e.lissa fuses catchy choruses with scathing, autobiographical lyrics. One moment you’re hearing the dark, macabre tones of Fiona Apple and Massive Attack. The next, you’re swaying to shimmering synths and delicate high hats. 

e.lissa’s latest single, “Reverberating,” explores how trauma ripples throughout generations. Threads of hope and resilience weave through hypnotic drum loops and fuzzy guitar tones. Austin’s glitter grunge trailblazer Dossey produced the track, adding some sweet ear candy that has bite.

“There’s a liminal quality here that really works — the sense of wandering through a half-lit space where certainty keeps slipping away.”
