Last week we caught up with the lovely Emily Barker when she played Caffe Nero Sheffield.
Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo’s new album, Dear River, has been released in the UK on Linn Records to critical acclaim, with four and five star reviews across the board.
Emily and her band, The Red Clay Halo, have carved out their own style, seamlessly blending classical, rock, country and folk influences to stunning effect. Together they have released three critically acclaimed albums, played a string of sold-out UK dates, performed with Frank Turner at the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony and written the Bafta and Ivor Novello award-winning themes to hit BBC dramas Wallander and The Shadow Line. Dear River is a major landmark that will surely take Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo to a whole new level.
Dear River was produced by Calum Malcolm (The Blue Nile) and marks a significant sonic move forward from previous albums. Lyrically, the album explores the meaning of home and its related tangents of exile, displacement, and family.
Emily played 'Letters' for us, taken from Dear River which is available now!
