Gemma Cullingford - Tongue Tied
2.9.22 - Black Vinyl LP (ELMO1LP)
Tongue Tied
is the sophomore album from Gemma Cullingford. It’s a progressive follow up to her debut Let Me Speak.
Written and produced from Gemma's humble home studio in Norfolk, Tongue Tied
blends many styles of electronica from 70's experimental and new wave, early 80's electro, acid house and techno to noughties electro clash, topped with her own vocal style to produce a unique and fresh sound. It explores relationships and the different emotions they can bring, from paranoia, yearning and helplessness to lust, shyness and just downright wanting to dance. For the cover artwork on Tongue Tied
, Gemma has collaborated with visual artist Kelda Storm who shares Gemma's love for bright, contrasting neon colours and minimal bold designs. She uses the iconography of feminine lips across her work as a symbol of speech and voice. For fans of Sink Ya Teeth, Lonelady and A Certain Ratio.
