Emily Yacina

Emily Yacina has been self-releasing music for over a decade, offering a “treasure trove of wrenching melodies and delightfully off-kilter meditations on time and absence” (Stereogum). Although she’s collaborated with some of the most notable names in indie rock, including Alex G and Rostam, Yacina is a singular artist. Her voice is compelling and instantly recognizable, sometimes winking, lilting, or layered and chopped and used as an instrument. Veilfall arrives six years after the release of her debut studio album, and is another mesmerizing entry in her catalogue. Illuminating Yacina’s sharp command of crystalline production, Veilfall showcases an expanded roster of collaborators operating at the highest level. Her ability to mine intangible emotions is sage-like, as she navigates formless concepts like the process of grieving, and the types of alienation that can follow in its wake.
