Emma Hill

The Sleetmute Sweetheart

"Alaskan singer/songwriter Emma Hill and her co-writer/musician Bryan Daste have quickly made a massive impact with their alt/folk songs and their penchant for touching upon the deepest, most universal of subjects. They’ve been compared to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, and their fourth album proves they’re not just a one-off, fly-by-night duo. Hill easily exudes that wild, adventurous style that only a true Alaskan can. There’s not a cut on here that doesn’t hit the nail right on the head. Hill’s voice is clear, strong and fierce, her lyrics to-the-bone, while Daste and company bring a tough yet gentle touch—and it all comes together with an honesty and truthfulness that’s rare to find in any genre these days. One tasteful collection of memorable, honest songs delivered with a flawless, stand-out panache. Here’s an artist you’ll be following for ages to come—check out this album posthaste!"
