13th Floor New Song Of The Day: Emily Edrosa – Wade Thru
Here’s Emily Edrosa with her brand new song Wade Thru.
Fans of Street Chant may well ask, “Where’s Emily?” Well, she’s in Los Angeles making music. Here’s a sample of what’s coming. Wade Thru is the second taste of Emily’s solo album, now in the works. Here’s the record company blurb with more:
Los Angeles-based New Zealander Emily Edrosa has released the second single, Wade Thru, from her long-awaited debut album Another Wave is Coming.
Emily achieved considerable acclaim as the songwriter and frontwoman for the multiple-award-winning power-pop trio Street Chant, with the band’s final release Hauora (Flying Nun Records, 2016) winning New Zealand’s prestigious Taite Music Prize in 2017. Leaving behind a friendly music scene and a fierce reputation, Emily moved to America in 2016 to start over in a country that seemed in its death throes.
Wade Thru is the second single to be released from her debut solo album Another Wave is Coming. Coming hot after July’s self-directed first single Drinking During the Day, Emily worked with legendary Los Angeles based director Jennifer Juniper Stratford (John Maus, Beach House, Gerard Way) on the music video.
Another Wave is Coming is the culmination of several years of meticulous work spanning two sides of the globe. Emily demoed everything down to the drum parts before enlisting several drummers and engineers to record the parts, including local favourites Alex Freer (Tiny Ruins) and Liz Stokes (The Beths). Emily took those tracks back to her home studio in Los Angeles and layered guitars, vocals, bass and keyboards. Mixed by legendary producer John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth, Waxahatchee) and finished by Emily in her home studio, the record is a portrait of life as a hyper-aware stranger in dreamlike and hostile territory.
Digital as well as black and limited edition red 12″ vinyl pre-sales for Another Wave is Coming are available here.
