Emily Wells
Forging a bridge between pop and chamber music, composer, producer, and video artist Emily Wells builds songs from deliberate strata of vocals, synths, drums, piano, string and wind instruments. Her evocative music (described as “visionary” by NPR) and performances (called “quietly transfixing” by the New York Times) impel listeners to be attuned. Wells’s latest release, the ten-song album Regards to the End, explores the AIDS crisis, climate change, and her lived experience watching the world burn. A work of radical empathy, Regards to the End foregrounds the power of art, critique, and care to connect and perhaps redeem us.
Tekla Peterson is the pop music aspect of Taralie Peterson, who also composes with psych folk/experimental group Spires that in the Sunset Rise since 2001, and solo as Louise Bock, where she more often explores with cello and saxophone.
