ABOUTEmily Mercer is a genre-defiant indie artist based in Manchester. With a sound that is at once nostalgic and strikingly original, her songs are the sum of many parts, from indie pop hooks to jazz-inspired harmony backed by rich keys and smooth grooves. The result is a warm and sophisticated soundscape that digs deep. Through a sharp and playful lyricism, Mercer draws us into her introspective spiral, exploring all that makes us messy and human, often teetering between poignant and farcical. From self sabotage and overthinking to attempting to love (or at least like) ourselves, we are invited to bare our souls and face the music.For Fans of: Mitski, Weyes Blood, Fiona Apple, Kate Bush, Andy Shauf, Clairo, Madison Cunningham, Lucy Dacus
