ellery , formerly known as `` dividing the plunder '' , are a musical group from cincinnati founded by married couple tasha and justin golden .
they changed the name to `` ellery '' after finding it in a book at a shop in iowa .
-lsb- http://www.jumper.it/pagina.php?idsection=musichall&page=artist&art=ellery&lang=eng] they began work as ellery in 2005 .
their style has been compared to that of sarah mclachlan , ben folds , and alternative folk .
the couple wrote , recorded , and released the `` make your troubles mine '' ep which they recorded with the help of producer and guitarist ric hordinski -lrb- formerly of over the rhine -rrb- .
their debut was received with positive reviews in local newspapers , and their local public radio station , wnku , put them in regular rotation .
after a feature in `` performing songwriter magazine '' , virt records contacted the band , signed them , and sent them back into the studio to turn the ep into a full-length album .
the result , `` lying awake '' , was released in 2006 .
in late 2009 , justin and tasha began a series of in-house concerts in the midwest as a part of the ellery stimulus , created to help raise money for their next record , due in early spring 2010 .
in winter 2009 , ellery released a holiday ep titled `` down , down , down '' .
although they are normally described as a duo , backing music is provided by ric hordinski -lrb- electric guitars , loops , keyboards -rrb- , amos heller -lrb- bass -rrb- , and josh seurkamp -lrb- percussion , drums -rrb- .
