Deerful

Deerful is Emma Winston, a keyboard player, singer and producer based in London. She writes lush, sad, romantic electropop about feelings, on synthesisers small enough to use on the bus. Her self-engineered and produced debut album, Peach, is a bold and ambitious 11 track debut long player, released less than two years after writing her first song. Peach is an album about affirming the ordinary and vital, about the everyday things that provide comfort to you in difficult times, and about finding your own way to push back against the expectations that constrain you. It traces a narrative of moments of contact between people, especially between women, and above all celebrates the small moments that make up a life. Emma self-released her first original song, ‘City Bells’, as a digital download in December 2015. In 2016, she released a 7″ single, ‘Moon Maps’/’Hush Me’, on Where It’s At Is Where You Are, followed by a cassette EP, Staying Still, and a USB drive loaded with 8-bit remixes and a self-made platform game, Home. Her musical influences include the Postal Service, Kero Kero Bonito, Emmy the Great, CHVRCHES, Owen Pallett, Grimes, and the Moon theme from DuckTales for Game Boy. Story-led, poppy electronica from London made on miniature synthesisers by Emma Winston.
