Aethellis' next album (with Mellotron!)

Aethellis' recording for the next (4th) release is underway if a bit delayed due to COVID-19.

Keyboardist/vocalist/composer Ellsworth Hall received the gift of a Mellotron last year from his wife Cheryl and is using it on the new album (and at gigs).



Ellsworth and guitarist/vocalist Mark Van Natta have composed and recorded the basic tracks for most of the new material with a few tracks yet to be done. Once the basic tracks are all completed they will be forwarded to bassist/vocalist Erik Marks for his contributions. Erik is expected to compose his own solo composition for the new album.

The album title is tentatively The Affinity Oeuvre as it features new versions of several tunes originally written by Ellsworth and Mark during their Affinity/Affinity Music Library era. Plus there will be all new material.

The album release is scheduled for 2021 on the Melodic Revolution Records label.
