Emile is the solo project from vocalist, guitarist and songwriter of Copenhagen based The Sonic Dawn. Having fronted the band on four albums and on stage across the European continent, his musical language is fluent and expressive. This new project is an outlet for those quieter, stranger and more melancholic songs, that would never really fit into the rock group format. The music is lonely and haunting, while at the same time a surreal look at life through the multicolored kaleidoscope. Emile is an artist with a head full of ideas and a deep love for music.
Spirit is the second album by Danish-French Emile, otherwise known from the acid rock band The Sonic Dawn. On this new solo effort, Emile unfolds a new and exciting side of his songwriting. Each song ebbs and flows effortlessly with a great sense of purpose, always centered around Emile’s voice and masterful, mainly acoustic guitar playing. He is backed by a small ensemble of selected musicians and blackbirds singing the sun down. The lyrics reflect an unpretentious cosmic consciousness, simply marveling at existence as it is. Spirit about connection with our surroundings, with nature and the universe. There is beauty in transformation too, Emile reminds us. Spirit is a different album from a different singer-songwriter. It is both surrealistic and easy to understand, accomplished and untamed, light and heavy — like the passing of time.
