Bio
Happy Axe is multi-instrumentalist and musical polymath Emma Kelly.
On her forthcoming debut album Dream Punching, Happy Axe weaves layers of vocals, violin and musical saw into a vibrant fever dream of ambient pop music.
Listening to Happy Axe is a hypnotic experience. Deft melodies and atmospheric loops cascade and fold themselves around you. Entrancing patterns form and then dissolve.
Inspired equally by the organic sonic landscapes of artists like Björk and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, and the brooding string-laden film scores of David Lynch and Hollywood noir, Happy Axe builds sound-worlds filled with both light and shadow.
Review
The kinda song that's got the power to take your breathe away. Hypnotic and stunning.

Review
It's performed at a moody pace and with similarly haunting vocal delivery yet I still find plenty of light permeating the corners of this from Happy Axe.
