Emily Frembgen‘s brand new country-tinged indie-folk album No Hard Feelings is due out this Friday, September 13 on Don Giovanni Records. Earning acclaim spanning BrooklynVegan, The Alternative, GRRRL Music, RIFF Magazine and more, crafting the new album created space for Emily to delve into her family life for the first time, while also making sure to provide listeners with a stomping good time. Today she shares the final preview single “Hard 2 Love“ which explores the weight that we put on first impressions and peoples’ ability to surprise you if you give it time. Fans can experience her captivating live performance at the album release show at LIC Bar next Monday, Sept. 16.
The new collection explores Emily’s past and the echoes of alienation that inform her present. “Frembgen” comes from the Old German for “little stranger,” and Emily is used to being one. Born in Denver to a single mother, Emily spent her childhood bouncing from Colorado to Baltimore then finally landing in New York City where she currently lives. She has shared stages with Ben Kronberg (Last Comic Standing), Jeffrey Lewis, Wayne Hancock, John Craigie, Daniel Rodriguez, and Paisley Fields. The video for her 2023 single “Fentanyl” was directed by Clare O’Kane (Saturday Night Live, Shrill).
