In Tongues is the debut solo album from former Killing Heidi and The Verses singer, Ella Hooper.

"...It was a quietly confronting and emotionally charged decision to take a break from working with my brother Jess, as I’ve collaborated with him on 99% of my musical adventures since I was a child.

...With blocks shifting and longing lifting me into a creative space again, I wrote nightly, furiously, on my beaten up parlour guitar and sang constantly into my IPhone as I walked down the street, garnering a few weird looks along the way I’m sure.

In an insanely fruitful (and free, thanks Jan..) trial day we turned one of my acoustic ballads into a synth heavy, programmed drum backed, slightly Twin Peaks flavoured moody-pop piece, and I knew I’d found the right key collaborator for In Tongues.

I began travelling daily to Jan’s little but light filled top of shop loft on Smith St (Melbourne).
