Garage rock, trashy pop, who cares what you call it?! Go-Go's spirit, Pixies grit, nothing precious, better played loud. This is where you'll find the songs, the social stuff and a little more about me.
So happy to see you.
Stream it wherever you already hang out — Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, you name it. However you listen, thank you for spending some of your time with these songs.
Hi, I'm Emma — the girl behind Darling, static. Days: 20-plus years untangling marketing and content strategy for other people's brands. Nights and stolen weekend hours: writing & producing garage pop that owes a debt to the Go-Go's, a little grit to the Pixies, and a fair amount of attitude to Elastica and Descendents. Nobody asked me to run both careers at once — I just never got around to picking one lane.
I've been "the girl in the band" since I was in my teens — Seattle house shows with The Preons, then The Melody Unit, then a short detour with Saola Rock in Montreal. Darling, static is what happens when I stop borrowing anyone else's sound and just make the songs I've always wanted to hear.
Come hang out on the socials! Here's what you'll find, where.
