Emily Barker - A Dark Murmuration of Words

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. On A Dark Murmuration of Words, Emily Barker examines our unconscious choices and unspoken prejudices, and essays the search for meaning in an increasingly loud, social media-driven world. The American writer Emily Dickinson once said that "If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves" - like the starlings in a murmuration, where the movement of each individual bird is related to just seven of it's closest neighbors, none of them aware of the mesmerizing, fluctuating shapes being created by the flock.
