Emily Barker- A Dark Murmuration of Words (CD)
On her new album, A Dark Murmuration of Words, Emily Barker examines our unconscious choices and unspoken prejudices, and essays the search for meaning in an increasingly loud, social media-driven world.
The American writer Emily Dickinson once said that “If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves” - like the starlings in a murmuration, where the movement of each individual bird is related to just seven of its closest neighbours, none of them aware of the mesmerising, fluctuating shapes being created by the flock.
Tracklist:
- Return Me
- Geography
- The Woman Who Planted Trees
- Where Have the Sparrows Gone?
- Strange Weather
- Machine
- When Stars Cannot Be Found
- Ordinary
- Any More Goodbyes
- Sonogram
