Emily Barker
Emily Barker is an award-winning singer-songwriter, best known as the writer and performer of the theme to the hugely successful BBC crime drama ?Wallander? starring Kenneth Branagh.
Her last album, 2020's ?A Dark Murmuration of Words?, was produced by Greg Freeman and recorded at StudiOwz, a converted chapel in the Welsh countryside. Lyrically probing, by turns both dark and optimistic, Barker searches for meaning through the deafening clamour of fake news and algorithmically filtered conversation, delivering a timely exploration of the grand themes of our age. It garnered widespread acclaim, with Uncut calling it ??a kind of Australian equivalent of PJ Harvey?s Let England Shake?.
Barker has released music and toured as a solo artist as well as with various bands and collaborations, most notably her long association with Frank Turner, and has written for TV and film, including composing the soundtrack for Jake Gavin?s lauded debut feature ?Hector? starring Peter Mullan and Keith Allen.
?Fragile as Humans? is scheduled for release on May 3rd 2024 through Everyone Sang/Kartel Music Group. The album will also feature earlier singles: the vast, cinematic ?Wild to be Sharing This Moment? and the meditative, crestfallen ?Loneliness?.
