OUT NOW | Listen Here

Brian Emory‘s latest single, ‘Cut You Out‘, delves into themes of betrayal and redemption, serving as a cathartic anthem about removing toxic influences from one’s life. Inspired by a personal experience of betrayal, the song metaphorically likens negative relationships to a cancer that must be excised for personal growth. The track was born out of a spontaneous creative burst, composed in a single day with the poignant guitar riff setting the emotional tone. Written specifically for the Sci-Fi short film ‘Something Somewhere’, from True Karma Pictures and directed by Joshua Boshell, ‘Cut You Out’ resonates deeply with themes of alienation and deceit, paralleling the film’s narrative. Collaborating with producer Sean Mccue and drummer Austin Beede, Brian captured an organic sound at Coyote Road Studios, ensuring his vision of blending melancholy with a hint of hope came to fruition. Through this powerful song, Brian Emory aims to connect with listeners navigating similar emotional landscapes, reminding them they are not alone in their journey towards healing and self-discovery.

‘Cut You Out’ is the first release from publishing start-up Vibration Music Group (VMG), founded by film producers, Avi Zephyra and Darsh Thakker. Vibration seeks to promote independent growing artists with unique and diverse sounds and stories.

Brian Emory, hailing from Goleta, CA, traces his musical journey back to a small house on Nectarine St, where he first encountered his uncle’s black Fender Stratocaster, a relic steeped in jazz and rock heritage. Influenced by the sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead, and jazz standards, Emory’s creative path and diverse musical palette was set early on. Drawing from icons like Thom Yorke, Morrissey, The Beatles, and Elliott Smith, his music blends Alternative rock with Singer-Songwriter introspection, creating what he describes as “Emotional Music”. Brian’s vocals are infectious, complemented by lyrics that offer a deeply personal and sonically distinctive experience. For Emory, music is a cathartic journey, akin to rain on a sunny day—embracing both shadows and light, resonating with listeners in search of emotional resonance and solace.
