Pem

Pem is the outpouring of multi-disciplinary artist and songwriter Emily Perry. Blending her hauntingly husky vibrato voice with enchanting arrangements, she crafts a sound where smoky music hall serenades meet ethereal alt-pop. Inspired by luminaries like Joni Mitchell and Elliot Smith, the powerful intimacy of her songwriting transports her listeners into a haze of vulnerable introspection. In 2022 Pem unveiled her debut E.P Songs About Hands. Written during an intensive psychotherapy training, it expresses conflicts with memory, connection and disassociation. With confessional lyrics, swooping melodies and wistful field sounds, it offers space to reflect on what it means to touch and be touched. Pem moved to Bristol in 2023 and immediately carved out a name for herself with her silencing live performances. She was long-listed for Glastonbury Emerging Talent as well as Greenman Rising and landed slots with The Last Dinner Party and Mary in the Junkyard.
