Miss Emily Brown is the Pacific between storms. At times glistening on the surface, at times plunging into the green, her music haunts us with its complexity and depth. Miss Emily Brown’s compositions are fluid and dynamic, impossibly combining music box, autoharp, pianet and her soaring voice. Her debut album, Part of You Pours Out of Me, named one of the top twelve albums of 2008 by CBC’s Alan Neal, marked a graceful entrance onto Canada’s independent music scene. Her second album, In Technicolor, featuring songs based on her grandmother’s journal from World War II, was put forward for the 2010 Polaris Prize, nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Pushing the Boundaries and for Best New Artist on CBC Radio 3. She recently completed a Canadian tour with jeremy Fisher and a tour of Germany with the Alin Coen band, promoting her new EP Sum of All Parts.
“Miss Emily Brown has accomplished a feat of marrying history and plain old-fashioned story telling into a compelling and delicately assembled package of distinctive folk-pop ear candies.
In Technicolor is a genuinely impressive achievement.”
- Amanda Putz, CBC Radio One
