Having experienced the hopeful highs and crashing lows of an all-consuming
previous relationship, the West London-based musician Eleni Drake has
emerged out the other side more confident than ever of both her worth as a
human and her outlook as an artist
As a testament to both arrives tender new LP 'Chuck': a record that doesn't shy away
from the sadness, but that also puts its foot down, pushing Eleni's sonic palette into
richer new territory as she finds revelation and growth amongst the rubble.
Recorded at Voltaire Studios in Stockwell, it marked the first time she'd ventured out
of her home set- up, recruiting a full cast of musicians to realise her vision and
bringing in producer Frank Colucci (Rose Gray, Sea Girls) to assist her behind the
desk. It feels like the perfect time for Eleni to be making this advancement. Named
after the romantic lead in Pushing Daisies, 'Chuck' partly nods to the precariousness
of the relationship at its centre
Together, 'Chuck''s tracks paint a stunningly human portrait of love and pain, and how
those two states can interconnect in the most disarming and sometimes destructive
of ways. But it also plants its feet in the ground, building a nurturing musical world to
fall into and find solace within; one that, like its author, realises that - slowly, eventually
- things will be OK.
