New Signing: Composer Emily Wells

Spectra Creative Agency is excited to welcome composer, songwriter, music producer, and artist Emily Wells (she/her) to the Spectra family!

Forging a bridge between pop and chamber music, this polymathic composer, producer, and video artist builds songs from deliberate strata of vocals, synths, drums, piano, string and wind instruments.

Emily has written original music for film including the end credits song "Becomes the Color" for Park Chan-Wook’s Stoker (2013), in addition to having her music extensively licensed across film, TV, and advertising, including features in Sharp Objects (HBO), Orange Is The New Black (Netflix), Bates Motel (A&E), Riverdale (CW), and The New York Times’ Diagnosis (Netflix), as well as in promotional media for Apple, Adidas, Nike, IKEA, among others.

Emiy's evocative music (described as “thrilling” by Pitchfork) and performances (called “quietly transfixing” by The New York Times) impel listeners to be attuned. Her latest release, the ten-song album Regards to the End, explores the AIDS crisis, climate change, and her lived experience watching the world burn. A work of radical empathy, Regards to the End foregrounds the power of art, critique, and care to connect and perhaps redeem us.

“A master of blending the worlds of classical and electronics.”
– NPR

“Surprise and precision are Wells’ greatest assets as a
composer, and Regards to the End is filled with both... It’s as if a rugged stone has been cracked open to reveal the sparkling angles of a geode—beauty erupting through the toughest planes.”
- Pitchfork
