Paste recently caught up with Canadian singer-songwriter ellis about her sophomore album, 'no place that feels like.'
Linnea Siggelkow discusses growing up in a religious home without secular music, the preciousness of workshopping demos, and how tensions with her old label inspired her to go independent on her sophomore album,Linnea Siggelkow, who writes music as ellis , doesn’t know where her home is.
It wasn’t until Siggelkow’s mid-20s, though, that she started venturing out as a performer—first with a band she and her best friend formed, and together they played Best Coast-inspired fuzzy, surfy rock. She set herself in Toronto, the massive hub around which her life had been oriented for a decade, but as an ordinarily shy person who isn’t one to perform lightly, it was hard to get a foothold in such a cacophonous, at-times competitive city of that scale.
Siggelkow also stepped out of her comfort zone to craft the album’s visuals. “I don’t love making music videos—some people came from theater and this is truly their bag—I’m not that guy. I’m not totally excited to be on camera,” she says. However, with the help of her friend Justin Singer , she came up with ideas for videos that would flow into each other, all depicting her winding search for a home she so deeply covets.
Even if Siggelkow is still searching for home, it sounds like she’s found something as close to it as young adulthood allows: a cadre of fellow artists who share her vision, people with the tools to help you bring her art to life, an audience that’s ready to receive. The pursuit of physical and psychic rootedness is ever-evolving. Crucially, Siggelkow has embraced the ellis sound—vocal-forward and cold as a Great Lakes wind—and it sounds completely at ease on.
