Elsa Hewitt - Chaos Emeralds (2024)

Originally from Lewes, UK, Hewitt discovered songwriting early on, and the power it had to bring meaning and solace. A devotion was sparked that would continue to deepen and transform until the present day. Producing four-track demos from the age of 13 - playing guitar, flute and drum kit, with a natural inclination to invent ad-hoc recording techniques - she progressed through fronting post-punk bands to solo electronic songwriting, keenly developing her ear for aesthetic and passion for album-making along the way.

Tompkins Square released experimental electronic album LUPA in 2021, hailed by UNCUT (“Sonic world-building”) and featured by Rough Trade via their Transmissions series.

Chaos Emeralds is a collection of sparse and dynamic beats, made from canopies of found sounds and vivacious elements that fly around, subsequently layered with melodic poetry that is rich in metaphor for the inner experience.
