This Is Meru

Emily Wells is an American musician, born on November 20, 1981 in Amarillo, Texas. With a unique blend of genres including folk, pop and electronic music, she has captivated audiences worldwide with her soulful vocals and masterful violin skills.
Inspired by artists such as *My Brightest Diamond* and *CocoRosie*, Emily's music showcases her ability to seamlessly merge classical elements with modern production techniques. Her introspective lyrics and haunting melodies create a mesmerizing experience for listeners.
Having collaborated with renowned performers like *Marissa Nadler* and *Laura Gibson*, Emily has established herself as a respected figure in the indie music scene. Her albums have received critical acclaim and she continues to push boundaries with each new release.

The Dark Moving reimagines the original tracks hailed by NPR as “visionary” and "mind-blowing." Initially commissioned by Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra's Liquid Music Series and Metropolis Ensemble, this latest recording offers a thoughtful, minimal companion piece to the original music in the form of Wells, her guitars, and nothing else. Recorded solely by Wells in her Harlem studio during the summer of 2019, she reflects, "I'm interested in getting another look at a song, both in performance and recording. It keeps the song a living thing. I began working on these recordings out of curiosity. I wanted them to be the sort of thing a person could put on quietly at the end of the day on a little speaker and watch the light drain."
