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
This one's hypnotic and unnerving. If this were a movie soundtrack, it would be a slow motion, no volume battle scene where the protagonist's fort is tragically but inevitably overrun by the invading army. Buildings burn. Smoke clouds the sun.

You're an alternate reality Happy Axe. The strings consume this with drama, it'll leave you feeling unsettled and wanting more to explore. This is next level.
