Emily King – Scenery (Album Download)

Emily King is here with a brand new album titled “Scenery.” The album, produced by long time musical cohort Jeremy Most and mixed Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Amy Winehouse, David Bowie) was recorded in upstate New York, nestled in the Catskill Mountains, where Emily now makes her home after a lifetime of Lower East Side living. Scenery follows the critically acclaimed album The Switch (2015) which included the hit “Distance” (more than 13 million streams).

Following the album’s release, King performed on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Conan, Prairie Home Companion, and toured with Alabama Shakes. King and her rat terrier Billy moved upstate to a rustic cabin in Woodstock, where a “Walden”-like sense of tranquility overtook her. Reinvigorated by nature, she was inspired to complete the third effort, dubbed “Scenery,” with soulful tunes such as “Remind Me,” “Marigold” and “Look At Me Now.”

The songs have a chugging rhythm because she found herself behind the wheel of a car for the first time, learning how to drive on country roads. “You turn on the radio up there and it’s Tom Petty and Tina Turner and all this driving music,” she says. “So I wanted to make my own driving music.”

In the city, King idled inside all day, sinking deeper into depression. “There were no new experiences no new ideas, so I just couldn’t be creative there,” she says. “I was completely blocked, mentally. It was everything that happens when you stay in one place too long.”
At her new digs, she has plenty of elbow room and a garage she converted to a recording studio.

I never realized that they go away for the winter,” she says. “So it’s been interesting to see how different animals come out in different seasons. I saw a bear last spring just walk right up to my patio, and I was terrified. But there’s a really cute groundhog who lives right next to my compost bin. I’m pretty sure he’s just sitting down there with his mouth open. But it’s cool — we’re saving the planet together.”
