Order Emaline's latest ethereal folk-pop album in handmade CD / digital format 'With Every Beat'
Emaline's nine track album 'With Every Beat' includes songs recorded in Scandinavia, Europe and the UK on a grand piano, guitars, synths, mini wurlitzer, mandola and celtic harp including locations in Berlin, the New Forest England and the mystical Faroe Islands. Apart from some winter recording at the wonderful Studio Bloch in Tórshavn capturing some Nordic ambience, the record is 100% DIY; a labour of love which was played, recorded and mixed by Emaline and her partner Lukas with a few guest musician friends on cello, banjo, flute, viola, trumpet, drums and french Horn.
Drawing on many influences from folktronica, art pop, traditional folk, and even a little soft symphonic metal on the song 'Turmoil of Winter', the new record is a sonic soundscape interlacing stories and thoughts about current world issues, dealing with animal rights, the lack of female role models in mainstream music, mental health, self worth and the memory loss and death of a beloved Grand parent with alzheimer's disease. Although at times melancholy, the music is still positive…the title track 'With Every Beat' is a kind of mantra to help dissipate negative mental thoughts and body anxiety, instead drawing on the strength
we hold in our bodies to fight dark forces and move forward in the world.
