Tusks
Hazy, cinematic synth-pop that feels like a slow-motion walk through a rainy city. Ethereal vocals meet heavy, textured electronics for deep, late-night immersion.

Tusks is the moniker of London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Emily Underhill. Emerging in the early 2010s, Underhill transitioned from piano-led compositions under her own name to a sophisticated electronic identity characterized by cinematic scale and emotional vulnerability.
Her debut LP, 'Dissolve' (2017), established her as a peer to artists like The xx and London Grammar, though with a heavier emphasis on shoegaze-inspired textures and DIY production. Her sophomore effort, 'Avalanche' (2019), showcased a shift toward more aggressive, guitar-centric arrangements influenced by My Bloody Valentine and Wolf Alice, proving her versatility within the dream-pop spectrum. Underhill is notable for her hands-on approach to production, having refined her engineering skills at Ten87 Studios, which culminated in the self-produced 2024 album 'Gold'. Critically, she is praised for her ability to balance 'bedroom' intimacy with festival-ready sonics. Her work occupies a unique space in the UK indie-electronic scene, bridging the gap between ambient electronica and alternative rock.
