Popular local genre blender Em Burrows has finally unveiled her debut album Invisible Seams, available now on Group Therapy Records. The full-length follows her critically acclaimed EP Solitary Sounds from 2016 but sees her 70s tinged folk take on a more adventurous and expansive sound. Burrows is set to launch Invisible Seams with her band Web Rumors this Thursday, March 22 at The Bird with special guests Ryan Beno, Erasers and DJ Libby Noble.
Em Burrows has described Invisible Seams as a “collection of tightly spun songs that reflect on redefining our ordinary lives by embracing sincerity and synthesising the connections we make with the passing of time.” With sweeping analogue synths, haunting saxophone, and Burrows’ distinctive contralto voice, the album also sees Burrows embracing electronic rhythm elements and samples. There are elements of experimental pop and psychedelic undertones which were bought to life in the studio recording by Adem K, with Rhien Tan and Burrows sharing mixing and production duties.
Em Burrows was previously the songwriter and frontwoman of psych-folk-rock band The Lammas Tide and performs with a six piece band Web Rumors, that features some prominent Perth musicians.
Em Burrow’s Invisible Seams will be launched at The Bird this Thursday, March 22 with Web Rumors and support from Ryan Beno, Erasers and DJ Libby Noble.
