About Me

Buy Emma York & Galactica's album "Far From The Quotidian" with paypal. 10pounds plus p&p Emma York & Galactica are a brother/sister act with such a distinction that stands them apart from the usual. Emma's unique, beautiful voice carries hints of soul, jazz and folk and rests on a bed of gentle fingerpicking on a classical guitar. Her songs are heartfelt and delivered with a certain passion that is warm and compelling. This is then melted over breath-taking human beatbox supplied by Daniel York (aka Galactica) and forms an acoustic genre of there own. Emma York - vocals & classical guitar Galactica - beatbox

Sounds Like: "With the sparse-blue, heartfelt cool of soulful solo artists such as Tracey Chapman and Joni Mitchell and the deeply rich, full sound of Massive Attack and Zero Seven, Emma's song writing is pure and unifying. Galactica's passionate drum'n'bass beats and hip hop attitude make their music a delicate balance between several genres." by Juliette Burton (The Evening Standard.)
