"With a mix of D.I.Y. attitude, guitar proficiency, and songwriting skills modeled after Cat Power
and Exile in Guyville-era Liz Phair, Emily Easterly made her debut in 2001 with the self-released
Assembling Emily. Featuring collaborations with several of Easterly's hometown heroes
(including Sparklehorse's Alan Weatherhead and Cracker guitarist Johnny Hickman), the record
was issued during the songwriter's final weeks of high school in Richmond, VA. The following
months saw Easterly relocating several hours south to study music at the University of Miami,
where she released Cole in 2002 and garnered support from college radio. Seasons Never
Change followed in 2005, boasting an intimate, stripped-down sound that reflected upon the
singer's four-year stay in sunny Miami, and Easterly subsequently moved to Brooklyn to pursue
her craft full-time. Inspired by Neil Young, the Beatles, and Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, Heart
Comma Heart arrived in late 2007. The following year, Easterly teamed up with fellow
songwriter J Seger to record a split single, Please, Please Say Goodnight/City Love Is Strange,
which was released on 45-rpm vinyl that fall." -Andrew Leahey, allmusic.com
In the fall of 2009, Easterly released the single, "The Only Two On Earth" with the B side
"Montreal”. After a move to Asheville, NC in 2011, she has released the EP “Get Bothered” in
2013 as well as the single "Yellow Leaves" / "Put on a Show" in 2018. In the fall of 2019
she released the new LP “The Blems”, recorded at Studio G in Brooklyn, NY, available on vinyl
and digitally.
