Gig & Concert News - Emily Edrosa (Street Chant) releases new single/video announces album release show
04 November 2020 - 0 Comments
Formerly Los Angeles-based New Zealander Emily Edrosa has returned home in time to release the third single from her long-awaited debut solo album Another Wave is Coming.
Emily achieved acclaim as the songwriter and frontwoman for the multiple-award-winning power-pop trio Street Chant, with the band’s final release Hauora (Flying Nun Records, 2016) winning New Zealand’s
prestigious Taite Music Prize in 2017. Leaving behind a friendly music scene and a fierce reputation, Emily moved to Los Angeles in 2016 to start over in a country that seemed in its death throes.
After six months spent in Covid-induced isolation lockdown, in mid-2020 Emily made the decision to return home. Again based in Auckland, she's preparing to release NCEA, the
third single from her debut solo album Another Wave is Coming and her first since her return to Tamaki Makaurau. Emily worked with Auckland based director/editor Anastasia Doniants on the video, which premiered on
UK music site Clash Magazine who described it as "an undiluted vision of coy DIY guitar pop that is blunt yet personable in its approach". Watch the video here.

Another Wave is Coming is the culmination of several years of meticulous work spanning two sides of the globe, and represents an ambitious leap forward for the Emily Edrosa sound. Emily demoed everything down to the drum parts before enlisting assistance from a cast including local favourites Alex Freer (Tiny Ruins) and Liz Stokes (The Beths) to fully realise her vision for the record. Mixed by legendary producer John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth, Waxahatchee) and finished by Emily in her home studio, the record is a portrait of life as a hyper-aware stranger in dreamlike and hostile territory.
The album will be released locally by PSL Sound and globally by American label Park The Van Records on November 20th, with Emily playing a headline show (with full band) at Auckland's Wine Cellar to commemorate the occasion.
Presale tickets for the show at Wine Cellar on November 20 are available here.
Digital as well as black and limited edition red 12" vinyl pre-sales for Another Wave is Coming are available here.
