HAPPY RELEASE DAY . Well I Mean is out now!!!

Sometimes you have to go back to the beginning to find a way forward. Well I Mean hearkens back to the messy feelings Brian managed to get down when he was starting out, as part of the Front Bottoms. But now Sella is a grown up. He’s still battling some devils and demons but with more tools and expertise at his disposal.

While the Front Bottoms continue to record and tour and are more popular than ever, Sella has also struck out on his own in an effort to keep things fresh.

“I’ve tried different hobbies over the years ,” he explains. “But ultimately the thing I always come back to is songwriting and story telling. It’s just something I have to do and I have to find new ways to do it.”

Happy release day to ! Known Associates has arrived! 🫨

“The more you know about music history, the more you know about music history in DC, the more you know about the state of the world, the more you’re going to find to latch onto in this record.” - NPR New Music Friday

A fever dream of Van Morrison-horns and Leonard Cohen sentiments, Known Associates is the LP which ratifies the steady rising reputation of Elizabeth Nelson as one of our insurgently crucial songwriters. Like her longtime hero Lucinda Williams (did you listen to her Passionate Kisses cover?), Nelson’s slow burn has run side by side with an ever-growing literary reputation. Known Associates is regal, ragtag and filled with the sort of hard luck stories, busted-up epiphanies and thrift store miracles that will be familiar to any fan of Richard Thompson, David Berman, or Tom Waits.

Have you heard ‘s newest single?

“I wrote it about Don Henley, or anyway my idea of who Don Henley might be behind all of the swagger. In some ways he is the saddest and most clear eyed observer of his own generation.” - Elizabeth Nelson
