Emily Barker

Barker is the writer and performer of the themes to the BBC’s hugely successful crime dramas Wallander, starring Kenneth Branagh, and The Shadow Line, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, as well as composing the soundtrack for the acclaimed indie movie Hector, starring Peter Mullan.

Her latest album—A Dark Murmuration of Words—was produced by Greg Freeman and recorded at StudiOwz, a converted chapel in the Welsh countryside. Lyrically probing, by turns both dark and optimistic, Barker searches for meaning through the deafening clamour of fake news and algorithmically filtered conversation.
