Fifty Grand - "Exceptional"

Like if Philip Glass and Purity Ring teamed up to score 'The Others.'

Emily Onofrio lives in California and makes music under the name Fifty Grand. She's currently a film major, and her favorite composer is Philip Glass. Her music sounds kind of like if he and Purity Ring teamed up and scored The Others (it's a really good thing).

Her sophomore EP, Exceptional, drops this Thursday on Aural Sects, and we've got the debut title track for your utmost aural pleasure. Emily says she wrote the EP because she "wanted to explore the emotional charge behind orchestral pieces and arrangements that evoke something more than a 'Whoa, this song goes hard,'" which only sort of works in this case because whoa, this song goes hard.
