Our Take

Emily Barker serves up a tantalizing concoction of folk and Americana with her latest album, "A Dark Murmuration Of Words." From the moment the hauntingly beautiful title track kicks in, listeners are transported to a world of introspection and emotion.

Barker's vocals are a highlight throughout the album, effortlessly weaving stories of love, loss, and redemption. Tracks like "Where Have The Sparrows Gone?" perfectly showcase her ability to evoke raw emotion with her soulful delivery.

The production on "A Dark Murmuration Of Words" is top-notch, with lush instrumentation and layered arrangements that create a rich sonic tapestry. The blending of acoustic guitars, strings, and subtle electronic elements keeps the listener engaged from start to finish.

Standout moments include the dreamy "Strange Weather," which showcases Barker's poetic lyricism and ethereal vocals, and the rollicking "Machine," a foot-stomping anthem that is sure to get audiences on their feet.

Overall, "A Dark Murmuration Of Words" is a triumph for Emily Barker, showcasing her growth as a songwriter and performer. It's a mesmerizing listen that will leave you wanting more. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her music, this album is not to be missed. Grab a cuppa, cozy up, and let Emily Barker sweep you away on a darkly beautiful musical journey. Cheers!
