Post Description

All At Sea is Emily Baker's third full-length set (well, nine songs) and it is quite, quite special. Essentially, Baker has dropped the full(ish) band line-up of the last album and surrounded herself with chums playing minimal guitars, double-bass and percussion, plus the odd hand-clap here and there. Normally, this formula would have me running for the first taxi out of humdrum town but, in this singer's capable mitts, the description of 'acoustic songwriter' proves to be a delight, rather than a tiresome Sheeran-esque chore. 

 Run, Best Laid Plans and Northern Lights are reflective little pieces that evoke references to Joni Mitchell, Kathryn Williams or, perhaps, Eddi Reader, while Tennessee is a Trans-American tale with super slide-guitar style atmospherics that has its creator proclaiming that she's "not about to drown myself in Bourbon", but clearly bitten by the Nashville dream. In another universe, this simple song would be marching up the charts, flicking it's whisky-soaked V's at all and sundry. Sadly, we're here, in Blandtopia and it won't. Mind you, never say never.
