I gave you my heart You gave me yours We planted a gold And it grew in 3 years But I sold it Without notice You are my ex American lover You had a heart of a million dollar We shed some tears of silver And I sold it Without notice I didn’t come here to fight My heart I didn’t come here to fight Against my will I measured the depth of love I need some time to hide in the cave You are my ex American lover You had a heart of a million dollar We shed some tears of silver And I sold it Without notice “You always be…” “I never retrieve what we had” “What we had is gone away” You are my ex American lover You had a heart of a million dollar We shed some tears of silver And I sold it Without notice

about

“American Lover” showcases this aesthetic in all its tipsy glory. Teshima stumbles through memories, reflecting and trying to move on. Yet this plays out over synth notes and a beat that sways forward, prone to sudden turns but always grounded in a rhythm apt for the dance floor. Australian producer Super Magic Hats offers up a dreamy rework here, as well.

This is just the first chapter in ELLEH’s sad boy disco story. They will release their first EP, Anthems Part 1 this April, featuring “American Lover” and building on it thematically, exploring one person’s bargaining with heartbreak and turning to music as salvation as the dawn approaches.
