Percival Elliott are an indie-folk rock duo from the south coast of
England. Formed by the belief that true friends can create something
meaningful, Olly Hite and Samuel Carter-Brazier united to grace
audiences with their poignant lyricism and neo-nostalgic melodies and
have since been captivating listeners at sold-out shows across the UK.
Titled
in memory of Hite’s great grandfather, Percival Elliott, born in 1883
was an inventor who created one of the first ice-cream emporiums in
Brighton. After discovering a dusty box of trinkets in the back of
Hite’s family attic, the untouched time capsule unveiled Percival
Elliott’s mysterious inventions, engraved ice-cream paraphernalia,
haunted photographs and time honoured war medals. The revelation of
these long-forgotten hidden treasures became embedded within the duo’s
imagination and musical creativity and thus Percival Elliott was
reborn.
“Forever” is the first single to be released off the duo’s upcoming album Save Your Soul. Inspired
by the likes of Jeff Buckley, The Beatles and Father John Misty,
“Forever” is a gracefully heartfelt and atmospheric song about eternal
love. Hite reveals, “Forever is about a chance meeting with someone.
Sparks and butterflies, even if it’s just for a second, that feeling can
last forever”. The use of yearning lyricism seamlessly blended together
with Hite’s celestial vocals and Carter-Brazier’s soothing guitar,
“Forever” succeeds in crafting a song of compelling honesty and
authenticity.
The poignant narrative of
‘Forever’ is beautifully reflected in their cinematic video. Featuring
visually stunning shots of rippling water, the dawning sunshine and the
peaceful serenity of natures finest elements, the video is the perfect
accompaniment for their authentic and organic sound. “We believe
‘Forever’ has a certain charm about it, so we wanted to find a location
that would give it justice”, explains Hite.
The
duo are known for their signature style of hard hitting piano melodies,
rhythmic guitars and retro vocal harmonies, all underpinned by a string
quartet. “Forever” illustrates the band’s desire to create music that
makes the hairs on your neck stand up, “We want to make the listener
feel alive” Hite expresses.
Percival Elliott's
successes to date include a national tour with numerous UK charting
artists, as well as collaborating with the likes of Fatboy Slim.
Percival Elliott are now ready for the next chapter of their musical
endeavour with the highly anticipated release of Save Your Soul due early 2018.
