Not your average kids’ music here. Husband and wife kid-rockers Ellen and Matt have varied influences, which they wanted to share with their young audience. “This album has homages to the Beatles and the Carpenters, but also to the Pixies and the Ramones,” Ellen says. “Kids have the ability to enjoy, and should be exposed to, all of music’s many moods.”
Written and recorded in its entirety while Ellen was pregnant with twins, “Best Friends” is truly a family affair. “Our older son, Noah, was our greatest inspiration,” Matt recalls. “Whether it was the typical preschooler struggles over eating dinner or going to bed, or just the joys of silly dancing, there was no shortage of ideas with Noah around.” Ellen adds, “The babies in my belly really fueled my creativity. Whole songs came to me in the middle of the night when I couldn’t sleep. They flowed out of me in a magical way.”
Ellen and Matt are currently playing shows locally around Los Angeles in the coming months to support and spread the word about “Best Friends”. For more information, visit their website at www.ellenandmatt.net.
