‘Eden’ is out now, buy/stream it here.
Multi-hyphenate musician and producer Avalon Emerson & the Charm shares new single ‘Eden’, today. LISTEN HERE.
The break-beat assisted ‘Eden’ arrives alongside a Ben Turok-directed music video that captures a real moment in time, featuring footage of Avalon rushing down from her home in upstate NY to John F. Kennedy airport to catch a flight to Europe for her next DJ set. The visuals of ‘Eden’ articulate the juxtapositional life Avalon lives as a diverse artist.
The new single follows Avalon’s collaborative track with legendary producer Moby, ‘E After Next’, released earlier this year as part of her Perpetual Emotion Machine series, a string of conceptually linked singles with her new label, Dead Oceans, and is the first taste of new music from Avalon Emerson & the Charm since her debut album & the Charm released in 2023.
Speaking about ‘Eden’ Avalon shares, “‘Eden’ is the voyage along the endless river carved between mountains of joy and loss, of experience and exhaustion. We glide over a teeming riverbed of relationships and love, revealing the path itself is the point.
‘Eden’ came from the first studio session I had with Bullion after the last “& the Charm” live tour in late 2023. That day in London made me realize that making this kind of music is not just a detour from DJing and dance music, but the entrance to a deep cave, full of passages to wander.”
Avalon Emerson has solidified her position as one of the most respected DJs and dynamic artists from her beginnings in San Francisco’s warehouse scene to her time living and playing in Berlin, performing at the legendary Berghain and other famed clubs for over a decade. Now back in the United States and living in upstate New York, Avalon has been flexing other musical muscles. The aforementioned album, & the Charm, was released to broad acclaim in 2023 and introduced the live band element to Avalon’s musicianship. Co-produced with now frequent collaborator Nathan Jenkins (aka Bullion), & the Charm showcased Avalon’s distinctive range—with a rare ability to move fluidly between euphoric, high-BPM dance music and intimate indie pop.
Later this month, Avalon will head to the UK for DJ sets in Manchester at Warehouse Project on November 21st and in Dublin at Fidelity Studio on November 22nd. Next year, Avalon will bring live Avalon Emerson & the Charm shows to the UK and Europe in March and April.
