John Elliott, known by his stage and recording name The Little Unsaid, is an English songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. He has released five studio albums and one EP of songs combining elements of alt-folk, electronica, alt-rock and string arrangements.
In September 2015 a crowd-funding campaign was completed using Pledge Music to finance the recording and release of the album Fisher King.[1] The album was recorded in various locations in London, and was mixed by Graeme Stewart, producer of Jonny Greenwood's solo work and film music.[2] The leading single from the album 'Can We Hear It?' was mixed by Mark Gardener of the shoegaze band Ride, during breaks from the band's 2015 world tour.[2]
Elliott and his band released their fourth album Imagined Hymns & Chaingang Mantras in April 2017.[3] Following the release, The Little Unsaid won the Steve Reid InNOVAtion Award,[4] and subsequently signed with Reveal Records to release a compilation album of material spanning the band's career to date entitled Selected Works.[5]
In May 2019 The Little Unsaid released their fifth studio album Atomise on Reveal Records.[6][7]
