about

In the summer of 2023 we welcomed a young Sulci into the Bricolage family with her debut, "Before The Echo".

Eighteen months later she returns with her sophomore effort, "Four Chambers".

The past year and a half has been a real whirlwind journey for the Glasgow based producer. Plenty of ups, downs, lefts and rights as she navigated writer's block, "second album syndrome" and a turbulent period in her personal life before finally coming out stronger on the other side.

Emily has taken all the experiences of those testing times and moulded them into this stunning new album.

The groundwork on "Four Chambers" originally started in November 2023 and was put on the back burner last summer for various reasons. An extended trip to the town of Aalesund in Norway in the second half of 2024, to visit family, provided respite and a new inspiration. Upon returning home to Glasgow, a re-energized Sulci focused on completing the labour of love that we now have the privilege of sharing

The evolution of Sulci is clear on "Four Chambers". There's a new found maturity and musicality. The album pulls in a plethora of influences and uses them to provide us with some more dancefloor friendly tracks, whilst keeping that distinct mellow vibe that Sulci has become known for. It's quite the combination. Rippling and rolling funk, melded into cosy ambience amid laid back vocal experiments.

"Four Chambers" starts off on a serene plain before kicking through the gears as we go and a more open minded approach to production has allowed for the vibrant and colourful elements to bloom into full focus as the warm, shifting percussion falls around them. There's also a celestial feel throughout as the ethereal vocals wax and wane among the numerous weaved melodies and pads.

All these components together make for a truly unique release. One that will be on repeat for a while.

“ There's a real confidence in the instruments, teasing out little motifs that are revisited, wrongfooting the listener by constantly expanding the range.” (Snack Mag, March 2025)
