Emily Barker is an award-winning singer-songwriter, best known as the writer and performer of the theme to the hugely successful BBC crime drama ‘Wallander’ starring Kenneth Branagh.

Her last album,‘A Dark Murmuration of Words’is lyrically probing, by turns both dark and optimistic, Barker searches for meaning through the deafening clamour of fake news and algorithmically filtered conversation, delivering an exploration of the grand themes of our age.

Barker has released music and toured as a solo artist as well as with various bands and collaborations, most notably with Frank Turner, and has written for TV and film, including composing the soundtrack for ‘Hector’.

‘Fragile as Humans’is scheduled for release on May 3rd 2024 through Everyone Sang/Kartel Music Group. The album will also feature earlier singles: the vast, cinematic‘Wild to be Sharing This Moment’and the meditative, crestfallen ‘Loneliness’.
