Emma Swift is an Australian-born songwriter, currently residing in Nashville, TN. A gifted singer inspired by Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell, Marianne Faithfull and a plethora of dead poets, her sound is a blend of classic folk, Americana and indie rock.
In August 2020, she released the critically-acclaimed Blonde on the Tracks, a Laurel Canyon inspired reimagining of some of her favourite Bob Dylan tunes on Tiny Ghost Records. The album received Best of 2020 accolades from Rolling Stone, Nashville Scene, No Depression, The Guardian and more.
Her new album The Resurrection Game was released on Tiny Ghost Records on September 12, 2025. The seeds of The Resurrection Game were sown on the heels of a seven-week nervous breakdown that saw Swift sectioned in her native Australia. Over a year of recovery followed, a very fragile period in
which she grappled with what had happened through therapy, medication, and eventually, her art.
“I am a big believer in the redemptive power of art,” Emma Swift says. “Though many of these songs come
from a an immensely difficult time in my life, what I’m trying to do here is to alchemize the experience.
To make the brutal become beautiful.”
Grounded firmly in enduring musical traditions yet utterly contemporary in viewpoint and execution,
The Resurrection Game immediately confirms Emma Swift as a singularly gifted singer and songwriter of immense skill and spirit. Swift trusts to her core that the act of creating something so passionately personal, of giving in completely to her life-altering heartache and despair, is the truest path towards greater connection with her art and the world outside.Listen to Emma’s music here. Her high, clear voice highlights each syllable, letting you hear the words form, one seemingly following
inevitably from the other, until they feel handed down, fragments of an old song now speaking to each other.” Greil Marcus, LA REVIEW OF BOOKS
“There’s a purity to this collection that allows both Dylan’s poetry and Swift’s emotion toshine; she embodies tracks like “Simple Twist of Fate” in a way that makes it feel like she wrote it herself.” SAN
FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“Swift navigates Sansone majestic folk-rock arrangements like the able captain of a frigate
sailing over shimmering seas.” Bud Scoppa, UNCUT MAGAZINE
