On February 4, 2026, Ellis Michaels released a 6-song acoustic EP titled, Tanning In The Moonlight.

Tanning In The Moonlight

Tanning In The Moonlight deals with themes of loss, despair, sickness and chronic illness, regret, grief, and sadness. This EP is a lot more personal than almost anything else Ellis Michaels has released. And there’s a good chance it’s the last music he ever puts out.

Tanning In The Moonlight is available on all streaming platforms.

And you can also purchase high quality song files in MP3, WAV, FLAC, and other formats from Bandcamp.
