The Bad Penny (beta)

What do Gojira, Yoko Ono and Money Mark have in common? A man named Timo Ellis, with whom they and a litany of other music legends have collaborated over the years. As prolific as Stephen King, Ellis is a pro at dozens of instruments and boasts tenure with a vast array of bands, including his own projects Netherlands and OOMASOOMA. On October 10, he will roll out El Bronco Blanco, the third collection of material by the latter affair. It succeeds Endless Future and Delireal, an EP that was released in August.

The self-described “genre-fluid” Ellis recently granted The Bad Penny an exhaustive examination of his artistic mind and endeavors, some of the tricks to his trade, and an honest account of his experiences working with a slew of musicians. (He also disclosed that a new Netherlands record is on the way.)
