With previous singles receiving significant radio support from the likes of Tom Robinson (BBC6), Janice Long (BBC2), and John Kennedy (Radio X), London-based confessional singer-songwriter Emile Bernard presents his debut EP The Distance Between Us.
An eclectic milieu of romantic cerebral pop fused with post-Britpop indie styling, The Distance Between Us is a cinematic malaise of irrecoverable love. A brassy tenor croon, reminiscent of such tormented timbres as Midlake’s Tim Smith, and former Czars John Grant, delivers finely spun pop balladry. Rife with morose, reverb-drenched soundscapes, and sinuous harmonies meandering into grandiose Mac-like climaxes, The Distance Between Us is a refreshingly romantic ode. Co-produced with Mercury-nominated audiophile Shuta Shinoda (Ghostpoet,Alexis Taylor,Anna Meredith), Emile Bernard’s debut glistens with ardently pop production that’s primed for mainstream airwaves.
