Avalon Emerson is bringing back the Charm. Last year, the DJ and producer shared a new song “Eden,” under the moniker, and now she’s following it up with a whole new album. Emerson produced Written Into Changes alongside Bullion, who worked on the original & the Charm LP in 2023, and Rostam Batmanglij. It’s out March 20 on Dead Oceans. Watch a Ben Turok-directed video for the new single “Jupiter and Mars” below.
“For the first album, the songs were pretty soft and kind of bedroomy,” Emerson said in a press statement. “And then playing them on a big kind of festival stage was a learning experience. Coming back into the studio for a second round, it was important to think about the dynamics and energy of what we were making and how they might be performed in the future.”
In 2025, Emerson launched the singles series Perpetual Emotion Machine, which included her rework of Moby’s “Next Is the E.” Her upcoming tour schedule includes headlining shows across Europe and California, dates supporting Snail Mail and Fcukers, and a slot at C2C Festival New York in May.
