Captivating Chamber-Electro-Pop by Emily Wells with Metropolis Ensemble

Soundcheck | Mar 14, 2019

Composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Emily Wells works in the space between art-pop and neoclassical chamber music using electronic and acoustic instruments: synths, strings, and hip-hop production in elegant layers to support her singular and dramatic vocals. For her latest, This World Is Too _____ For You she has expanded her sonic palate to include a string quintet and French horn for a collection of swirling and dramatic chamber-pop showpieces. 

Together with the Grammy-nominated chamber orchestra, the New York-based Metropolis Ensemble, and drummer Shayna Dunkleman (Xiu Xiu, Peptalk), she performs some of these new songs, in-studio. Emily Wells and Metropolis Ensemble perform at House of Yes on Thursday, Feb. 28.
