After releasing her EP Consideration on March 6, 2020, the global pandemic hit California and presented Bay Area-based electro indie-pop singer-singer and multi-instrumentalist, Emily Afton with the question of how to be a performing musician in a changed world. Dividing her time between Oakland and LA, she spent her time in quarantine trying on a new, stripped-down approach to recording music; the result of which was an unexpected outpour of creativity and growth that resulted in her most poignant work yet, RECONSIDERATION (out July 16, 2021).

RECONSIDERATION is not a traditional remix EP, but a collection of reimagined arrangements that highlight her voice and songwriting process as a queer woman and artist. Afton and her longtime drummer/collaborator Patrick Aguirre started the process of recording RECONSIDERATION by stripping away the original EP (Consideration), song by song, and rebuilding an acoustic universe with ribbons of electronica interwoven. Where Consideration (EP) is bombastic, dynamic, and loud, both politically and sonically, RECONSIDERATION takes that energy and turns it inward.

On August 20th, Emily Afton and her band will perform songs from RECONSIDERATION live for the first time ever in an intimate setting in collaboration with SoFar Sounds in San Francisco, CA. Join us for a socially distanced, outdoor backyard concert to celebrate the release of RECONSIDERATION. Limited edition, physical merch included with each ticket purchased.
