Hines worked with producer Henry Park. Together they drew inspiration from acts like Duster, Laura Marling, and Karen Dalton to record simply and add layers one at a time. The resulting collection makes for something truly special; rich and decadent but also earthy and cracked. Emily prioritized creating a recording that feels human and present, and the outcome is palpable throughout \u003cem\u003eThese Days\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt times we're right there in the room with Emily, up close and deeply personal, at other points it's as if you're straining to hear from the outside listening in; ear to the wall, notes carried and caught in the breeze. \"We were drawn to the 4-track because it constrains the urge for perfectionism and encourages authenticity to the moment,\" Emily explains. \"What you get is what you get, the 4-track doesn't afford you to get surgical about the details — and that can be really freeing.\" \"Listening to Emily Hines' lo-fi folk ballads feels like discovering a cult hero's lost demos—these gentle, heart-mending recordings crackle with intimacy and seem to unfold as you're listening.\" Paste Magazine??\"Hines sings plaintive and romantic acoustic ballads, small moments of a life that build to something far greater within the woozy timber of her voice.\" - Gold Flake Paint\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keeled Scales","offers":[{"title":"LP - White","offer_id":52498218713419,"sku":"R8220-4885","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":52498218746187,"sku":"R8220-7830","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/EmilyHines-TheseDays.jpg?v=1750744383","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/these-days-4","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
