Based in Tasmania, Emma Anglesey approaches her music the same way she rushes through her world: with a seductive rhythm and physicality that makes you want to move, to focus and to begin. Emma’s debut single Bike saw her become a Triple J Unearthed Spotlight Artist and the track was used by Triple J to advertise Unearthed Radio. “Wow. We’re gonna have to learn how to pronounce your surname coz I reckon we’re gonna be saying it a lot,” said Kyran Wheatley, Presenter of Triple J’s Weekend Breakfast. (Anglesey is pronounced: Angle-sea). Emma’s second single Mary-Anne is officially out Friday November 11th, 2016. Mary-Anne is a gripping ride that will have listeners enthralled and intrigued. Infectious, driving drums propel the sweeping instrumental; rich strings stab, and choral backing vocals float while Anglesey’s understated vocal susurrates throughout. On the writing of the song itself Emma said, "It’s an emotional pain killer and I wrote it to turn a feeling of struggle into a feeling of revelling in the fight”. To accompany the track, Emma in collaboration with Tim Kling (Sarah Blasko, Chase City), produced a stunning clip that embraces the wildness of the Tasmanian landscape. Both tracks are from Emma’s forthcoming record produced by Joshua Barber (producer for Gretta Ray and Daniel Trakell, and percussionist for Goyte). Of working with Emma, Joshua said "I met Emma at a small folk festival in Tasmania and she was one of the stand-out writers I heard there so I told her I'd love to work with her. Emma's songs are thematically articulate, with visual and almost tactile lyrics that I really enjoyed working to and selecting sounds that build towards these emotional environments.” Award­ winning composer Jonathan Dreyfus arranged strings for the track Mary-Anne (and the record) and it was mastered by Lachlan Carrick (Goyte, Lior). 2016 has seen Emma as a festival favourite in Tasmania and she’s played at A festival called Panama, a featured show at Festival of Voices and at DARK MOFO. Emma will be heading out on her first East Coast tour in November to celebrate her new single Mary-Anne, kicking off in her home town at The Royal Oak in Launceston on November 11, then moving through Neika, Berridale, Hobart, Melbourne and finishing up at Gasoline Pony in Sydney on December 7. Anglesey’s debut album will be released in 2017.
