Eliot's talents as a songwriter and instrumentalist gained praise upon the release of four new songs last year - "Dead Arms & Dead Legs", "After Dark", "Firewood" and "Species" - as well as the release of Information. Influences from Krautrock-inspired riffs to pulsing synth-pop rhythms paired with her signature alto are heard throughout the record. 2015 also marked Eliot's first North American tour with On An On in August and September followed by a European tour in November. In 2014, following the release of her first EP, Eliot joined Lykke Li as support on her European tour dates.
