Emma Anderson Delivers Fresh Single, The Presence

Having covered the majority of the singles from Emma Anderson‘s forthcoming solo record, I totally had my own expectations when hitting play on the new single, but admittedly, I got spun around. Within seconds, keys tease you into a quick drop that delivers a sharp toe-tapping bit of guitar work; you can hear the faint build of lush atmosphere behind Anderson’s voice, but for the most part, everything here feels snappy and fresh. This is precisely the way one moves forward into their own territory, leaving breadcrumbs to Lush, but making a sound that feels vibrant and joyous on its own terms. Real excited to hear all of Pearlies when it drops this Friday via Sonic Cathedral.
