Emma Swift – The Resurrection Game (Lavender vinyl)

Emma Swift is an Australian-born songwriter, currently residing in Nashville, TN. A gifted singer inspired by Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell, Marianne Faithfull and a plethora of dead poets, her sound is a blend of classic folk, Americana and indie rock.

Her new album The Resurrection Game will be out on Tiny Ghost Records on September 12, 2025. The seeds of The Resurrection Game were sown on the heels of a seven-week nervous breakdown that saw Swift sectioned in her native Australia. Over a year of recovery followed, a very fragile period in which she grappled with what had happened through therapy, medication, and eventually, her art. ‘I am a big believer in the redemptive power of art,’ Emma Swift says. ‘Though many of these songs come from an immensely difficult time in my life, what I’m trying to do here is to alchemize the experience. To make the brutal become beautiful.’ Grounded firmly in enduring musical traditions yet utterly contemporary in viewpoint and execution, The Resurrection Game immediately confirms Emma Swift as a singularly gifted singer and songwriter of immense skill and spirit. Swift trusts to her core that the act of creating something so passionately personal, of giving in completely to her life-altering heartache and despair, is the truest path towards greater connection with her art and the world outside.
