After more than a decade releasing albums and touring with award-winning indie-folk pioneers Tinpan Orange, Emily Lubitz has stepped out on her own. Her debut album, ‘Two Black Horses’ will be released on 18th July and she will celebrate with a national tour.
Lubitz is a veteran of the scene, having performed on some of the world’s biggest stages and premiere international festivals. She has collaborated with the likes of Paul Kelly, Martha Wainwright, Jen Cloher , Emma Donovan and Mama Kin, and yet her solo work is imbued with the raw energy of a breakthrough artist.
Emily’s new record, Two Black Horses sounds like an old Hollywood film, starring Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline and Phoebe Bridgers, who go on holidays together and talk about their feelings. She wrote the album for her family. It covers themes of forbidden love, immigration, death, loss and growing older with love and defiance, all captured in an alt-country dreamscape. Produced by Emily’s husband and long-time collaborator, Harry James Angus, Two Black Horses is a deeply personal collection of songs that speaks to heartache, heritage and hope.
“Emily's exquisite, brushed-velvet vocal conjures a steady neck-hair raising waltz” - The Age
“Strikingly assured” - Rolling Stone Australia
“What is it about Lubitz’s voice that makes it so incredibly captivating? Her timbre is otherworldly; hopeful and vulnerable, yet potent.” – Beat Magazine
