イリノイ州シカゴ拠点のオルタナティヴフォークアーティスト Em Spelが、8/4にCarillonia Recordsからリリースしたニューシングル 'My Oldest Friend'を公開！
共同プロデュースは前回に引き続き Brian Deck (Fenne Lily, Iron And Wine, Modest Mouse)。
決して長過ぎではない一曲の中で、唐突なアレンジもせずにここまで大胆に変化できるのかっていう驚きと、音の使いかたがユニークな人。
彼女の経歴は3月のシングルのときに触れたので合わせてチェックしてください。
“I recorded the song last winter, but something about the way I had orchestrated it didn’t sit right with me on repeated listens,” “There was a quality of strangeness that I feel when I perform that was somehow missing from the recording: I was imagining something green and living growing through the song the way moss grows in a tunnel. I took the song home and played around with it for weeks, creating drone textures by passing flute sounds through pedals until they sound almost like guitars, and trying out layer on layer of digital synths. I brought my new layers back to Brian [Deck] and he remixed it in a way that feels exactly right to me: moody, expansive, ever shifting.” - Em Spel
