ADVERT!

EMILY BARKER & THE RED CLAY HALO

have been in touch (via the email subscription nothing fancy) to remind us about their new album 

"DEAR RIVER"


Emily Barker
"Now living in the UK, Emily grew up in Bridgetown, Western Australia. With her releases over the last six years, she has proven herself to be a compelling singer-songwriter. Emily and her band, The Red Clay Halo, have carved out their own style, seamlessly blending classical, rock, country and folk influences to stunning effect. Together they have released three critically acclaimed albums, played a string of sold-out UK dates, performed with Frank Turner at the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony and written the Bafta and Ivor Novello award-winning themes to hit BBC dramas Wallander and The Shadow Line. Dear River is a major landmark that will surely take Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo to a whole new level."
Emily Barker 'Dear River'



I love her voice and quirky songwriting, ethereal voice and curious lyrics. I think she is another of those bands I found through the tv and the Wallender show soundtrack made me say "Who IS this!?" and we haven't looked back. I have bought everything since, highly recommending Almanac which has hardly been off the decks and I await the new album with anticipation. Meanwhile there is a free 3 track sampler download for those in need of encouragement!

Enjoy!
