Calling by Jemima Thewes
These songs are about life and death and all that we can experience in between. For me, recognising the fleetingness and fragility of existence gave rise to enormous gratitude for life. Sometimes the darkest experiences can bring the greatest transformation.

Cloud-hopping tales are told by clear, honest vocals and adorned with playful instrumentation. Jemima and her band charm you along a cathartic journey of haunting songs built of intriguing lyrics and melodies that creep up and catch you unawares. The unusual combination of strings and a rare wooden box called a tongue drum adds to the inventive and enticing new sound they create.
