Regards to the End is out! emilywells.lnk.to/RegardsToTheEnd
This album gave more to me than I gave to it⌠and I gave it everything. Thatâs the brilliant thing about making a thing, especially when you bring your friends into the process, or you make new ones through the language of music.
This album would not exist without the artists who showed me through their works, left for me and all of us as proof of life, that process, collaboration, making, and community are the blood of any movement. Art gives contours to our lives and blurs some of the awkwardness and absurdity of living. Thank you endlessly:

In The Dark Moving, out now everywhere: emilywells.lnk.to/darkmoving
Two months ago when we were all going under and I told you about this new record, I couldnât imagine May 15⌠But out of a strange dream it has emerged carrying with it these songs, still wrapped in their proclamations, terrors of a future I kept conjuring the summer of 2017, abstractions which still felt malleable. On In The Dark Moving, the songs are perhaps more aptly dressed for this moment, stark and monochrome⌠My wish is that youâll hear them in all their quietude and all their hope.

Announcing IN THE DARK MOVING, my new album of interpretations out May 15 on digital and vinyl: emilywells.lnk.to/darkmovingă°ď¸
Last summer when I was recording these quiet renditions of the songs from 'This World is Too ____ For You' I would come home each night and play the recordings-in-process through a tiny speaker out on the fire escape with my girlfriend while we had a drink or leaned against each other in the heat of a summer night watching the park below our apartment. I wanted to make something that spiritually felt a little like turning on a Patsy Cline era country station while letting an ice cube melt on your forehead in July. Little did I know that when the album would come out, nearly a year later, so many of us would be fire escape bound, quietly leaning on each other. This week I've been laughing / crying at the lyrics in their absurd new context... "Stay Up, 'till your friends come out" or "Come On Doom, Let's Party" or "We need each other to save us" or âCome back news night, give me meaningâ or, oh my god âI need a placeboâ. But these songs were, after all, written in the context of people living on a planet, so deeply entwined by our own precarious place on it. May these quiet songs beat their heart near yours... and may this be a moment of clarity for us all around the efficacy and immediacy of collective action taken for the love of humanity.

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 âvisionaryâ by NPR) and performances (called âquietly transfixingâ by the New York Times) impel listeners to be attuned. Wellsâs 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.
