El Hula

Blair Jollands is a compelling singer-songwriter with a ‘country and eastern’ sound. His compositions are cinematic in scope and call to mind aspects of Nick Cave, David Bowie, and Beck. His alter-ego is the band El Hula.

The Guardian hailed El Hula’s debut LP HOTEL as "Bizarre & Spectacular", THE NME and UNCUT gave it 4 stars. Blair Jollands gave the project its name so the records would sit real close to Elvis in the record stores.

"Jollands captures Presley’s southern gothic melodrama, no small achievement for one born 12,000 miles from Memphis"
THE GUARDIAN
"It’s the pedal steel drenched ballads that really leave the heart staggering down a red carpet towards Nick Cave’s stash of moonshine. Classy" UNCUT
