The Little Unsaid
With The Little Unsaid, John Elliott has carved out a niche as a poet of mental disintegration, a chronicler of very real and very difficult human emotions. But his songs are not without hope. Atomise is perhaps his darkest and most hopeful album to date. It is certainly his most expansive and fully realised.
Great art can often come from the darkest places…many of these songs were born out of very real human experience. They are musically inventive and lyrically astute documents of this experience, but more than that they offer a clearer way of understanding it, and perhaps even a way of helping to overcome its darker periods.
Watch The Day is Golden by The Little Unsaid, a deeply personal song that deals with a journey through mental illness. The video was filmed at sunrise on St Agnes in the Isles of Scilly. It’s also the title of their UK concert tour ahead of their new album Selected Works being released on Reveal Records.
