A great gig. Excellent support from Isabel Rumble (lovely voice) before Emily and band came on. It was the album launch event for “Fragile as Humans”. A great selection of songs from this,
Emily’s brilliant new album and a few old favourites (and a Dylan song!). Tasteful, powerful backing from Lukas Drinkwater on bass, Caleb Quartermaine on drums and amazing tasteful electric guitar from Luke Dux. All complementing Emily’s superb guitar and keyboard playing. The new album has interesting electronic production, but the very personal songs worked well in a very different, band setting or solo with guitar or keyboard. Emily’s powerful voice was to the fore on some songs and a more fragile, quieter sound on others from the new album. Adding to the experience was the great venue of Lyric’s Underground with perfect sound, a table on the front row and excellent food! Definitely a five star gig!

Emily Barker Biography
Emily Barker is an award-winning singer-songwriter, best known as the writer and performer of the theme to the BBC’s hugely successful crime drama Wallander starring Kenneth Branagh. She has released music as a solo artist as well as with various bands and collaborations including The Red Clay Halo, Vena Portae, Marry Waterson and Applewood Road (with whom she released a remarkable album of original songs recorded live around a single microphone, dubbed “flawless” by The Sunday Times) and has written for film, including composing the soundtrack for Jake Gavin’s lauded debut feature Hector starring Peter Mullan and Keith Allen.
Emily Barker’s latest album A Dark Murmuration of Words was produced by Greg Freeman and recorded at StudiOwz, a converted chapel in the Welsh countryside. Throughout the ten songs that make up the album, Barker draws connections between the familial, the local, and the global: a mother sings to her unborn child, asking for its forgiveness on ‘Strange Weather’; ‘When Stars Cannot Be Found’ explores the humbleness and comfort of the night sky when far away from home. Other highlights include the nostalgic ‘Return Me’, ‘The Woman Who Planted Trees’, the gloriously defiant ‘Machine’ and the effortless album closer ‘Sonogram’.
On its release, A Dark Murmuration of Words hit number 1 on the Official Americana Album chart in the UK and has garnered widespread acclaim.
“an album of spare, striking beauty” Mojo ★★★★
“…a kind of Australian equivalent of PJ Harvey’s Let England Shake” UNCUT 8/10
“bold, direct, uncompromising” CLASH
“a high-class piece of songwriting and beautifully expressed musicianship” Americana UK 9/10
“irresistibly catchy…an album replete with nooks and crannies, light and shade” The Australian ★★★★★
“an album full of grace and danger” RnR ★★★★★
“One of the most literate and probing folk albums of the year. I really love it.” Ann Powers, NPR Music
