Ears Wide Open: Aaron Embry

1

Aaron Embry’s solo material has often taken a back seat to his work with other artists – he’s been party to albums and tours for a host of A-listers, he produced Avi Buffalo’s debut album, and most recently he has played keyboards for Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. And his 2008 album as Amnion remains an underground classic. With Edward Sharpe on a bit of break after two years of exhaustive touring, Embry has been holed up in Ojai. The early recordings that have emerged are chillingly beautiful, and although we don’t generally post demos, “No Go” stands up so well as a stripped-down ballad we are compelled to share.
