Forging a bridge between pop and chamber music, composer, producer, and video artist Emily Wells builds songs from deliberate strata of vocals, synths, drums, piano, string, and wind
instruments. Her evocative music (described as “thrilling” by Pitchfork and “visionary” by NPR) and performances (called “quietly transfixing” by the New York Times) impel listeners to be
attuned.
Wells’s latest release, the ten-song album Regards to the End, explores the AIDS crisis, climate change, and her lived experience watching the world burn. A work of radical empathy,
Regards to the End foregrounds the power of art, critique, and care to connect and perhaps redeem us.
“ Wells is een efficiënte tekstschrijver. Haar composities spreiden zich uit en wervelen, waardoor de weinige woorden die ze aanbiedt, worden versterkt. “
