Dividing her time between Nashville and London, and originally from Sydney, Australia, the music of Emma Swift has been a balm for me in recent years.
Emma's debut album, 2020’s Blonde on the Tracks, saw her articulating her depression via the music of Bob Dylan, and I guess extracted a similar sort of comfort from it when I discovered the record last year. I wanted to get her onto the podcast to talk about that record, about mental health, about the crush I have on her husband, Robyn Hitchcock from the Soft Boys. What transpired was a conversation as lovely as her music. I do hope you enjoy this nourishing, enriching conversation with one of my favourite voices in music today.
