Think of Our Man In The Field – aka Alexander Ellis – as an independent correspondent with his works dispatches from his travels.
So classically crafted are Ellis’ songs that you could be forgiven for thinking you have heard Our Man In The Field somewhere before. Whatever the format, with the accompaniment of pedal steel, he takes inspiration from the alt-Americana and Caledonian soul stylings of Van Morrison, Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Ryan Adams and Wilco. His own sound is indefinable yet familiar – its introspective, intimate and deeply soulful style standing comfortably alongside modern-day artists Ray LaMontagne, Damien Rice and Foy Vance.
From the debut 2020 album ‘The Company Of Strangers’, Our Man In The Field returns in 2023 with their sophomore album ‘Gold On The Horizon’ recorded in Portland Oregon at Flora Recording and Playback with acclaimed producer Tucker Martine supported by tours in the UK and Europe, both as solo/duo and band.
