Track List
Created during an extended break from the hectic blur of her life as a touring DJ, the album is a personal statement of intent from an artist who’s long looked beyond the club for inspiration. It’s also the first time that Emerson has put herself, her emotions and, most notably, her voice fully into the spotlight.
Having spent her entire career working more or less alone, Emerson purposely sought out a small cast of like-minded artists to help bring the album to life. Chief among them was UK avant-pop savant Bullion, who executive produced the record and, most importantly, shares both Emerson’s predilection for shimmering pop melodies and her boundaryless approach to music-making.
Working together, they cracked open her head and heart alike, creating a space where she could intimately reflect on the people and places she’s loved and left behind.
Set for release on Another Dove—a new label that Emerson has launched alongside AD 93 founder Nic Tasker—Avalon Emerson & The Charm places lyrics and emotion at the forefront of its identity.

DJとして活躍し、ソフトウェアの開発者としての側面を持つ才女Avalon Emerson。USの〈Spring Theory〉からデビュー、〈Whities/AD93〉や〈Spectral Sound〉からカッティングエッジなリリースを続けてきた彼女のフル・アルバムが〈AD 93〉の創設者であるNic Taskerと彼女がスタートしたニューレーベル〈Another Dove〉からリリースされました。BullionことNathan Jenkinsをプロデューサーに迎え、自身の歌を全編にフィーチャリングした、これまでとは異色の新境地。ダンスミュージック、エレクトロニック・ミュージックの実験を背景にしつつ、ドリームポップ、シンセポップ、シューゲイズ的なアプローチも、歌、ディテールまで練り込まれた音、構成、新たなエレクトロニック・ポップのスタンダードになり得るようなクオリティーだと思います。 (サイトウ)
