Compared to what we'd heard with ' Limbs ', Emma Pollock 's first release 'Adrenaline' is a surprise. It's jaunty, but not in the conventional way. The chorus is almost a little bit heavy. Built around a simple piano roof, it's pretty and will hopefully get her some attention. Around the 3.10 mark, it sounds like a vintage 'gados moment, with a second layer of guitars kicking in upon the lyric " I'm looking out for an ambush ". I'm very impressed. As a footnote, NME.com's review of this song is [...]
Emma Pollock was one half of the vocal department in the immensely talented Scottish band the Delgados. While their passing was a sad loss ('The Great Eastern' remains a true lost classic) it meant that some day we'd be basking in the embrace of the various solo projects that emerged from the splinters. Two years on from the break-up the first fruits of the dissolution will be Emma Pollock's
Today I've been listening to The Delgados' album The Great Eastern for the first time in what seems like years. I'd forgotten just how good it is. An indie classic that really should have been massive. Then my mind turned to what the band were up to now. I've no idea what the three blokes are up to (I saw some of them in Malcolm Middleton's band a couple of years ago), but Emma Pollock is very much back on the scene. I've been intending to post on Emma for a while now, but [...]
The second night of the Versacoustic gigs took place on Wednesday. Versa is some sort of new beer which, quite uniquely, tastes just like every other flavourless mass-produced lager out there. Still, they clearly put the shits up the artists playing because every single one of them mentioned it in a slightly nervous way, which was a little peculiar. Consequently I feel it is my duty to say: don't bother, it's just the same as the rest of the piss-water these buffoons try and sell us. Anyhow, this evening's lineup was not quite [...]
Before we get any further, I'd just like to say that we'll catch up with America's Next Top Model very soon. This is not a permanent break, so there's no reason to toss yourself out of that window. As we were saying, the close proximity of South by Southwest and um...Canadian Music Week has brought quite a few bands to this city in the past few days. We've tried to see as much as we can, but as we age we find it harder and harder to bring out the ear trumpet in order to listen [...]
One down, three to go. My first full day in Austin was initially spent hanging out at the Convention Center getting my wristband situation sorted out, which it was and by early afternoon I had my wristband, camera pass, a spring in my step and tacos in my belly. First stop of the day. musically-speaking? The Mohawk, where Austinist , Gothamist and Gorilla Vs Bearist were throwing the best (and really, only) big party of the afternoon. Headlights (Champaign, IL) @ The Mohawk Patio - I thought [...]

Emma Pollock was zangeres in The Delgados en is één van de oprichters van het befaamde Chemikal Underground label. Na de split van The Delgados is ze solo verder gegaan en heeft ze anderhalf jaar aan haar debuutalbum kunnen werken. Dat is nu af en zal binnenkort uitkomen via 4ad . Ook zal mevrouw op SXSW spelen. Dat is opvallend, want vanavond is pas haar allereerste solo-optreden met band voor de BBC. De muziek van Emma Pollock solo is een stuk ingetogener en donkerder dan haar werk met The Delgados. Getuige ook de mooie sfeervolle ballad Limbs, één van [...]

The first download I put up on this site was from the delgados , and so it's with a strange sense of accomplishment that today I can write about a song from delgado Emma Pollock . She's been working on a solo record for most of the past year, and since she's playing at Austin's big shinding next month, sxsw.com has a song of hers. It's very skeletal, pretty, and a little underwhelming if I'm honest. I'm sure it'll fit better in the context of her album whenever it drops. What do you [...]
Apologies for the lateness of the update. Aside from various distractions, I was a bit uncertain where to go for this week, as my recent listens haven't drastically changed. But I finally gave the gigantic SXSW list a look (a green cassette means an mp3 is available for downloading), and basically Christmas came early. I guess I'm doing something right, because a number of the artists jumped out at me. Emilie Simon isn't playing SXSW, but she's at the top of the week, [...]
THIS WEEK'S FINDS week of Feb. 18-24 "Hardcore Hornography" - Michelle Shocked Michelle Shocked has the happy ability to sound completely unfettered and at home in a multiplicity of musical styles; you can now add straight-up New Orleans party music to her impressive list of genre performance credentials. And leave it to Shocked, a born activist and good-natured hell-raiser, to serve up this traditional good-time music with an added jigger of social awareness, hot sauce included: "That was one blow job you won't forget/ I ain't talkin' 'bout Katrina yet/ When that [...]
