The deeply intimate and personal songwriting of Emily Holm Nyhuus is
equal parts haunting and comforting. Haunting because she never
hesitates to put her most brutal feelings into song. Comforting because it
can feel reassuring if you’ve ever been to the same emotional places as she
has been. Under the moniker Reveal Party she creates forceful indie rock
songs, drawing upon singer/songwriter and Midwest Emo traditions.
She writes songs about existing in a chaos of complicated emotions, and how one might have to cut them off completely when they become too hard to handle. »Cut your feelings, like me« is the quiet advice given on the opening track from her debut EP ‘You Stole a Year of My Life’, that established Reveal Party as one of the strongest new acts on the Danish music scene and gained praise and attention from both Danish and international media.
Reveal Party writes songs about love and her life as a transwoman with a tongue-in-cheek, dark sarcasm. Inspirations range from midwest emo to uplifting pop songs and therefore Reveal Party embodies the sound of both melancholy and hope. The common thread remains the gut-wrenchingly honest lyrics, Emily’s trembling yet determined voice and the ubiquitous distorted guitars.
Reveal Party has received airplay on the Danish radio stations P6 Beat and P3 and been featured in large interviews with national media such as DR, Femina, Go’ Morgen Danmark, and Soundvenue. In 2021 she received the music prize at the Danish Rainbow Awards, and in 2022 she played the Rising Stage at Roskilde Festival.
In 2023 she released the last EP in her trilogy titled ‘You’re My Favorite Person’, which received a 5 star review from the Danish Music Magazine “Gaffa”.
Praise:
»The mix between gritty, messy guitars and the glasslike sensibility to Nyhuus’ vocals creates a beautiful, sharp contrast, and you can keep diving into the rich soundscapes«. –Soundvenue (DK)
»The honesty and strength inherent in these richly-textured pop songs weave a battle flag for trans people everywhere. At the heart of the music is the deep and universal dream of love triumphing over fear«. –The Fandomentals (US)
»’You Stole a Year of MY life’ has a freshness to it and at the same time it’s a vulnerable EP telling the story of life, we rarely get the chance to hear about«. – Gaffa (DK)
