Emily’s new album ‘A Light To Follow’ out now
Emily’s new album ‘A Light To Follow’ is released today. The album, recorded at Emily and Christian’s home on a goat farm in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, features 13 new songs including the radio single ‘Sunshine’. CDs will be dispatched from the UK and from Australia. If you don’t have a CD player you can still support Emily’s music by ordering the digital album from Bandcamp.
We have also published a book to accompany the album, including behind the scenes photographs of the recording process and Emily’s life in the Australian bush, her own liner notes, works in progress, mix notes and lyrics. The book includes an album download card so you don’t need a CD player to enjoy Emily’s new songs.
The CD and book are both available to order now from Emily’s shop.
