18 –  The Feels Mix

Happy to report back with a new entry of my Messy Mix series. And I’m thrilled to have one of my favourite new artists from the past years on board for this one. Emily Underhill aka Tusks has been releasing wonderful albums full of sinister, sensual and soulful songs throughout the past seven years.

Her most recent album “Gold” from earlier this year is a wonderful meditative experience and Tusks is also dropping a few alternative versions of songs from it in the form of the “Gold For Synths And Strings” EP on November 1st via One Little Independent Records.

Emily’s music is quite emotional, so it makes sense that her Messy Mix is dedicated to these emotions and feelings as she also explains to me:

“This is my feels mix – it includes tracks that deeply move, inspire and relax me on a day to day basis and make life just feel that extra bit more beautiful and intense. I always find myself gravitating towards really emotive music with a lot of texture and a certain feeling of darkness; which I think all these tracks have in common.”

It’s a perfect soundtrack as the days are getting shorter, delivering 50 meditative minutes that not only include songs by Tusks but also ones from Sassy_009, Chanel Beads and Shida Shahabi with whose album “Living Circle” Tusks is completely obsessed at the moment. That’s a fitting closing track of this sweet set and you should not miss the journey towards it. Tusks is also on tour soon and that’s an experience I can strongly recommend as well.
