Far From Here

Released in 2021, 'Far From Here' serves as the definitive full-length statement of Emmit Fenn's signature sound. While Fenn had previously gained traction with singles and EPs, this album solidified his position as a bridge between the neo-classical world and indie-electronica. The recording is characterized by its 'bedroom-plus' production style - maintaining the intimacy of a home recording while utilizing high-end cinematic textures. The album's structure is deliberate, moving from the expansive opening title track through more rhythmic, deep-house influenced moments like 'Edge of the Dark,' before settling into the stark vulnerability of the closing tracks. Critics and fans alike have noted its similarity to the works of RY X or James Blake, though Fenn's reliance on traditional melodic piano structures gives it a more grounded, accessible emotional core. It stands as a high-water mark for the 'chillout' and 'downtempo' genres of the early 2020s.
