about

Ethelscull is a Dark Ethereal Experimental project from Amelia Peel. The project emerged once Amelia began recording songs back in 1999 after purchasing a Fostex X-12 four track while going through a break up.
Always having been influenced by music and art, in her early years she was lucky to experience such a wide variety of music styles. A huge fan of Bananarama, Cyndi Lauper and the Go Go's began the dreams of a music career (and wanting to play the drums aka b/c of Gina Schock). Being introduced to her sisters collection of punk, and metal records including Generation X, Def Leppard and Ozzy Osborne at a young age planted another music style seed all together. Reading about the D.I.Y punk ethics of Sonic Youth and other bands in music magazines back then with actual section dedicated to "underground" music in the late 80's set a pace and it was 120 Minutes on MTV that opened yet another door to a huge array of bands that are still an influence to this day. Amelia dabbled in the early 90's Riot Grrrl movement and started playing in bands with other girls from school even though none of them lasted long enough to record anything. Moving to Atlanta in the late 90's proved productive as she was now surrounded by more artists and musicians that opened up a few opportunities like singing backup vocals on Treephort's record 'Enchanted Forest' in 2004.
Ethelscull has self released three cds: Thanatos in 2002, Ribbons into Hysterics in 2003 and what would become her last, Sentimentalia in 2006 on her Kittenwhip label. Kittenwhip also released an experimental music compilation titled Mood-Swing Theater Volume One which featured many experimental artist from around the globe.
Ethelscull is a project that took on a life of its own when everything else fell apart. One person and her stories and it just seems better that way.
Extremely personal and honest, a melding of life's influences and experiences set to the soundtrack in her head.
A reflection of who Amelia Peel, the introvert, actually is....

"Kind of old-school post-rock / psych / goth / ambient / and some post-punk thrown in for good measure" - Eric.M.Place

Ribbons Into Hysterics review from Gaz Webzine (2003)
"The album is bewitching, dreamy and melancholic. It has a lot of sonorous and reverberating sound details. I am fascinated by the depth of the instrumentation and intonation. The guitars hover above landmarks of gloomy, drowsy and creamy. Ethelscull's voice is simply enchanting and precious. Her voice is an indispensable part of the album."

Grace and Favors is the first new music from Ethelscull since 2006s' Sentimentalia.
