## Resource

Wollongong-based singer songwriter Emily Duncan weaves a dreamy tapestry of ethereal vocals and introspective lyrics over stripped-back guitar on her latest EP, 'Maybe I Needed Time', sets the scene for a new, more mature musical direction for Emily, honest story- telling, without the frills, dealing with themes of personal growth, connection to the body and the sense that there's a kind of comfort in finding a stable home and community. Taking inspiration from the likes of Australian icons Julia Jacklin and Jen Cloher, as well as US, Faye Webster and Adrienne Lenker, Emily combines hazy folk sensibilities with cutting, reflective poetry and limitless vocals. After years of support from the Australian DIY music scene, playing and touring in the Jack R.Reily band and working on her first single with Cry Club's Jonathon Tooke, Emily has been inspired to start a fresh, independent project, inspired by home and connection. "I wanted this release to capture what it feels like to grow up in your 20's, to reflect on those everyday moments where you're reminded that you have to practice at being yourself, reconcile parts of you that don't always fit, and land wherever makes sense. Each song on the EP travels through my own reckoning with who I am becoming as a person and my relationship with my brain and body. It's about home, community and confidence and is really an honest and raw collection of stories, without too much frill Since the EP release, Emily has played packed launch shows in the Illawarra and Sydney, and played at Illawarra Folk Festival, with many more shows in the works for this year "This EP has had a really lovely reception, especially in my local community. I'm really proud of it" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
