On her latest track, "Thirteen Moons," indie-folk singer/songwriter Emma Cook takes you on a soft, restorative journey of a transverse space in which nature serves as both the tutor and comrade. Produced by Katie Martucci, the track, accompanied by a lively band of Nashville and Brooklyn-based musicians, emits a glow and a tender exchange of insight between self-discovery and the continued transformation of all entities in nature.
"Thirteen Moons" is a reflection on the difficulty of rediscovering beauty in a soft wave of change. This perception feels more critical than ever in a culture that values constant upward movement. She serves as a guide, her voice gentle and assiduous, lighting our way like moonlight on shifting tides.
The song was inspired by the indigenous names for full moons, a particular year when the thirteenth moon crossed the calendar, a celestial representation of revival, and a reminder of the earth's ancient push. "Thirteen Moons" is a joyous grin, parallel to Maggi Rogers or Phoebe Bridgers but standing in a light all her own, as the first song on Emma's upcoming pick of the morning.
This track opens a new chapter in Emma's career as a writer and a classicist in her storytelling, a reminder that recovery is not always progress, and something lovely always grows between two different seasons. "Thirteen Moons" is a personal memory of where we've been.
