Inspired by the tranquility of her home in Vermont, new wave indie folk artist Emma Cook has elated fans for years through her work that finds a way to stay with listeners long after the sound has left their speakers. Anchored in narratively motivated composition that stands behind strong lyrical inspiration, reflective of the specific lens through which the artist sees the human condition, her work proves a vulnerable display of her innermost feeling that resonates with audiences from all backgrounds. As she steps deeper into the limelight with every step of her career, she celebrates the release of her latest album, Of the Morning. A delightful eight-track collection steeped in meditative progression and strong Americana undertones, the album serves as a powerful declaration of the artist’s creative proclivities at every stage of their process.
A stripped down and intimate collection of work, the album invites a sense of connection with listeners as its revealing nature gives audiences a glimpse into the mind of the artist throughout the record. Invoking a full range of emotions through this work, the album centers around deep cuts and acoustically inspired ballads such as “1229,” “Reminds Me,” and the titular track “Of the Morning,” juxtaposed with rich and full-bodied tracks such as “Thirteen Moons” and “Into My Heart” which feature a more elaborate instrumental composition and showcases the rich and harmonious instincts of the artist.
Comprised of condense stories that emphasize the artist’s commitment to personal growth and coming into one’s own self, the album proves heartwarmingly vulnerable in its honesty throughout its tracks.
