“Surprise and precision are Wells’ greatest assets as a composer.” – PITCHFORK

“Dramatic, METICULOUS, AND GOTHIC” – the new york times

“a master of blending the worlds of classical and electronics” – NPR

“Emily Wells’ music has a way of being cathartic and expressive in ways that words alone cannot accurately convey.” – VINYL ME PLEASE

“a one-woman orchestra” – New Sounds

Forging a bridge between pop and chamber music, composer, producer, and video artist Emily Wells builds songs from deliberate strata of vocals, synths, drums, piano, string and wind instruments. Her evocative music (described as “visionary” by NPR) and performances (called “quietly transfixing” by the New York Times) impel listeners to be attuned. Wells’s latest release, the ten-song album Regards to the End, explores the AIDS crisis, climate change, and her lived experience watching the world burn. A work of radical empathy, Regards to the End foregrounds the power of art, critique, and care to connect and perhaps redeem us.
