Band Members: Most artists are content to stick with the formula they’re known for, changing as much or as little as they think they can get away with. But Emma Dean isn’t most artists. In fact, on her debut album – Real Life Computer Game – the Brisbane-based performer has headed into new sonic territory and created a new genre – ‘Elastic Pop Theatre’. It’s bigger, bolder and more ambitious than anything she’s ever done, showing her growth as a person and evolution as a musician and songwriter, while also staying true to her innovative take on modern music.
