Hailing from Melbourne, Hemm, the duo comprising musical soulmates Juice Webster and Robert Downie, are the new signees of Spirit Level. If you remember well, it’s the collective who recently brought to your ears the bewitching ambient pop of Happy Axe. Hemm are going to release two EPs on this imprint – one is actually a re-release of their 2017’s project “Space Between Us”. The second collection is named “Emerging With The Day” and we’re happy to share with you its title track today.

Their evasive, atmospheric pop is loaded with caressing layers, synthetic arpeggio, unusual beats and cracking sounds. On the intimate single, which can sound a bit abstruse at first, the two artists are asking each other: “Will you remind me what it’s like to love?”. The only answer they provide is their mysterious music, both complex and beautiful. Interpret this as you want.

Some weeks ago, we introduced you to the beautiful music of Emma Kelly aka Happy Axe. Today, she shares the visuals of her stunning debut track “Seven Sounds“. Melbourne-based filmmaker and photographer Jeff Andersen Jnr. is at the helm behind the camera. Respecting the poetic essence of the track, the visuals highlight some wonderful landscapes and mysteriously introduce a subtle and dreamy feeling of tension.

Hailing from Canberra, Emma Kelly aka Happy Axe is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist and composer. Today, she shares her ethereal debut track “Seven Sounds” on artist-run music label Spirit Level (it was founded by triple j radio presenter Tim Shiel and Belgian-born Grammy-award winning artist Gotye). On her experimental “Seven Sounds”, Happy Axe hauntingy floats between ambient-pop, electronica, and neo-choral. The track reminds us a bit of Kelly Lee Owens and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. In any case, this mystical and esoteric debut track has definitely provoked our curiosity.

You can also play the track via Spotify and Bandcamp.

Happy Axe‘s debut album “Dream Punching” will be released later this year on Spirit Level. Meanwhile, follow the artist over Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
