In T minus 5 days, Late Bloomer will be released on iTunes! The (obsessed to infinity) Lunchbox Buddies cannot wait for this digital release of Emily Shackelton's debut album. We got our hands on the CD release of this work and thankfully, come June 4th, we can stop taking that extra spin around the block...for the 30th time...solely to have a listen "one more time" before parking. Seriously, it was becoming a problem.
This project has been a long time coming for Emily. You may remember us offering a sneak peak of one of the album's stunners Come Out here. Rest assured, no one is pulling a "movie trailer" on you. You know, where you go see a movie because the trailer is just so-oh good that you can't stand it, but then about 15 minutes in you suddenly realize you've already seen the best this movie has to offer...in the 1 minute trailer. Well, this is not that. This whole album is the real deal! We literally wish we could pick a favorite track, but there is a concrete refusal to lean on one or two singles. Instead the tracks are fiercely independent with stand alone street cred in their piercingly intimate themes and meticulously distinct production. Yet somehow organically those distinctions collectively unify the songs into a breathtaking body of work.
