One of Austin’s best up-and-coming young artists, Emily Wolfe, offers a fresh and inspired perspective that is often lost in music today. Her debut record Director’s Notes is rooted in folky-pop melodies accompanied by a unique, soothing vocal quality, and polished with catchy lyrics about the ups and downs of young love.
Each track pulls you further into the mood of the melody allowing your mind to wander through the stories until eventually, they become your own. “Dance on the Record Grooves” and “Never Let Me Go” make you yearn for love; punchy radio hits like “Heavy” and “Lion Heart” make you crave independence from love; and the acoustic-pop vibes of “Before You Were Mine” and “Anywhere” make you fall in love all over again
With Joshua Zarbo (Spoon, Monahans, Bob Schneider) on bass, and Diana Burgess (Mother Falcon, The Sour Notes, Annabella) on cello, Director’s Notes displays Wolfe’s extraordinary musicianship as a multi-instrumentalist -- guitar, banjo, drums, percussion, bells, piano, Rhodes. While Wolfe weaves a layer of vulnerability through each recording, Zarbo and Burgess capitalize on the raw sounds and add a touch of refinement with each subtle addition.
