Artist Snapshot
French horn player and conductor turned electronic composer, Matthew Ellis of Purse Candy takes heavy synth bass lines, acoustic guitars, vocoders and just about any lo-fi keyboard floating around to create richly delicious electro pop. Being rooted in the music community of Portland, OR Ellis has a particular knack for creating infectiously upbeat and authentic 80's tribute sparkle gaze pop. Yes, you heard right- sparkle gaze pop.
