The Adventures of the Silver Spaceman

TAOTSS(The Adventures of the Silver Spaceman) is the brain child of Zachary James Ellis. The project takes you on an album by album narrative starting in 2011 with a self titled bedroom acoustic record. Evolving against the grain of a trending reverb wash the TAOTSS project grew into something raw, and biting. Through various line-ups and collaborations Zach has now released five albums and toured the Northeastern and western US, France and Spain. In it’s present form the four piece psych rock/post punk outfit interweaves sparkling space guitars, bitter sweet bass melodies and a heart heavy back-beat to frame poetry-driven songs which have earned them comparisons to Steve Malkmus and the Jicks, Nick Cave, and a millennial Neil Young. The band seems to manifest the spontaneous and mystical elements of art-making through timeless songs and potent lyrics.
