We can’t get enough of this folk masterpiece “Wait For You” by folk duo Ocie Elliott. The song is from their upcoming EP “A Place”, set for release on August 27th. The minute we heard this record we fall in love with it and we couldn’t get it out of our heads. This song is a piece of art and brings a new emotion with every listen! The melodies are very catchy and mesh with the lyrics perfectly. Their voices are beautiful and the atmosphere of this song is very unique. The production is beautiful, professional and brought this song to a new whole level. This duo is professional and has so much talent when it comes to singing and songwriting. We hope you love it as much as we do!
WHAT THE DUO SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
This is a song about the emotional bearing of waiting for and missing a loved one who has gone away for a journey,” the band says. “It centers on that sweet yet aching, uncertain but at the same time knowing feeling that both people will be there when the waiting is over.”
ABOUT THE DUO:
Victoria, B.C. duo Ocie Elliott – Jon Middleton and Sierra Lundy – dream up dusty folk painted in broad strokes of acoustic instrumentation and lyrical eloquence meant for nights under the stars, long drives with no destination, and quiet moments of reprieve. After racking up over 15 million combined streams and receiving acclaim from American Songwriter, Atwood Magazine, PopSugar, and more, the pair cement this balance on their new EP, Slow Tide [Nettwerk], out March 12, 2021.
Ocie Elliott came to life in 2017 on EP. In between sharing stages with everyone from Mason Jennings and Sons Of The East to Kim Churchill and Joshua Hyslop, they launched a series of covers on YouTube shot in the backseat of their Honda CRV, performing intimate renditions of Elliott Smith, Gillian Welch, John Prine, and Simon & Garfunkel, to name a few. On the heels of 2019’s We Fall In, the single “Run To You” appeared in a slew of television shows, including Grey’s Anatomy, Batwoman, Legacies and more.
2020 proved to be their most prolific year yet kickstarted by the In That Room EP, and following it up with the critically acclaimed Tracks EP. At the top of the summer and in the midst of the Global Pandemic, Sierra and Jon retreated to an oceanside bungalow in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island for three days. The peace around them melted into their songwriting.
By achieving balance together on Slow Tide, Ocie Elliott might just help listeners do the same.
