Emily Magpie support Jack Mason 15th May 2026
£8.00
Emily Magpie returns with Narcissus, the second offering from her forthcoming mini-album howl, a project that expands her growing mythology of folklore colliding with the digital age. Where previous single The Changeling set a tone of shapeshifting identity, Narcissus plunges further into ancient myth and modern compulsion- recasting the doomed lover not as a boy at a pool, but as a woman caught in the unrequited intimacy of social media.
Designed as a “dopamine glitch” of experimental pop, Narcissus pulls the listener through addictive piano loops, snarling electronics, and folk-rooted instrumentation that spiral into a feeling of ecstatic unease. Emily sings from the inside of the obsession, whispering of a gaze that reflects, deceives, and traps. Unexpected and as addictive as doom scroll.
The release follows the success of her darkly magnetic single The Changeling, which received support from BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing, earning attention from Huey Morgan, Emily Pilbeam, Tom Robinson, and Jack Woolcoombe for its fearless experimentation and haunting originality.
“Weird but in a really good way… fantastic track, pushing boundaries.”
— Emily Pilbeam, BBC 6 Music
Blending influences from artists such as Okay Kaya, Anna B Savage, and Steve Lacy, the track sits on the more experimental edge of Emily’s alternative pop universe. Traditional folk elements- piano, guitar, voice- merge with glitchy beats and discordant synths, threading a line between the ancient and the futuristic

Jack Mason is a Cornwall-based singer-songwriter making understated, folk-inspired music. Originally from the Lake District, his songs carry a sense of space and stillness, shaped by the landscapes he grew up around.
Influenced by artists like Bob Dylan, Bon Iver, and Ben Howard, his music blends classic songwriting with a modern, stripped-back feel. Built around acoustic guitar and honest lyrics, his songs are simple, reflective, and easy to sit with.
Having started out playing traditional folk, that influence still lingers, but his music leans more toward mood and feeling than tradition.
His debut release, Evergreens, came out in late 2025, offering a first glimpse into a quietly developing sound.
