New blog post is live. This time for and around my song, ‘Feathered Thing’ - track 6 on my latest album, ‘Fragile as Humans’. It feels good to lend a bit more context to this song and some poems from my recent book ‘Sonogram {soundwriting}’. Thank you x

I got to be on the radio chatting with my mate, Luke Dux talking about our record collections. It was soooo much fun! Thanks to Mike and RTRFM 92.1 Check out this list... Do you know these records? https://rtrfm.com.au/shows/revolver/?date=2026-05-05 💛💛

2 yrs ago today ‘Fragile as Humans’ was released into the world. Despite these songs being written during lockdown, I love how they’ve translated beyond. They serve as reminders to me on how to guide myself through these headfuckery times we’re in - at their core was always the word ‘compassion’.

I wrote a new blog post. As before, I’ve used one of my songs as the container to hold a whole bunch of thoughts. The song is ‘Life is for an hour’. The thoughts are centred around the importance of creativity. https://www.emilybarker.com/wild/life-is-for-ah-hour/ 🩷 Emily
