After introducing themselves with their stunning debut single 'Milk' earlier this year, emerging outfit Emmannuel And The Unlimited Consciousness continue to establish themselves on the new music scene with their wondrous new offering 'DAYDREAM'.
Capturing a wonderfully broad and innovative approach to the alt-pop sound, 'DAYDREAM' makes for a brilliantly bold and interesting listen. With its rich and technicolour textures perfectly set to some euphoric vocals throughout, they are quickly cementing themselves as one of the more alluring names emerging so far this year.
So with the new single available to stream now, we sat down with bandleader Emma Anne Johnson to find out more about their origins and what has been inspiring them most over the years.
