Emerson Hart, acclaimed songwriter and frontman of Tonic, has returned with a dreamy space cowboy odyssey titled "Past Conversations in Future Rooms". Emerson is known for weaving intricate, personal stories into his lyrics for the band as well as his solo projects. Similarly, the songs on the new EP are a rearview of memories from his life that hold both regret and hope. He says the songs are 6 personal stories set to music where he reflects on and tries to make sense of past experiences. Many of the sounds and instrumentation are drawn from Emerson's youth including synths and guitars. He shares "these songs were born and recorded pre and post-pandemic when we took a hard look at life and where we wanted to go."
