Emmy the Great will be releasing her debut album " First Love " on February 9. But due to unfortunate circumstances her album leaked onto the internet about two weeks ago. Her music has been dubbed as "anti-folk" but that seems as if it was done by a lazy journalist. Witty lyrics and acosutic guitars are found thoughout the album. Some of the material from it isn't new, 'The Easter Parade', 'MIA' and 'City Song' can be found on her "My Bad" EP. The longest track on the album is 'Everything Reminds Me of You' which slowly builds up until [...]

Last day of January; last Tips 09 post. As it is the final segment of the 2SF,4SB Tips for '09 list it's a little longer. I hope what we've done so far has been cool for you, and you've found something that you really love. Because that's what it's really about, finding something special early on, that you can watch change and develop into maybe your favourite band. From the first proper single release to the mini tour, then the long-awaited album. And you help it happen, because you loved them from the start xx [...]
Though First Love didn't impress me, the b-side is a cheerful and fun. The male and female vocals are really nice too. Burn Baby Burn (Cover) Buy Single; Rough Trade Buy Album; Amazon , Rough Trade

Doves Joyous news to start the day yesterday when it was announced that Doves had not only assigned a release date to their fourth album and first in over four years - Kingdom Of Rust will be available on April 7 in North America - but they were also offering the lead track from the record, "Jetstream", available as a free download on their website for a fortnight in exchange for signing up to their mailing list. Curiously, said offer seems to have disappeared for the moment but I expect that's due to [...]
Head over to Stereogum to download "Pulling On A Line", the new single off the forthcoming Great Lake Swimmers record, Lost Channels .
For myself, the wait for Emmy the Great's debut album First Love , has only been a little over a year. But for many more long-time fans, the wait has been what I imagine is a more excruciating three or four years . Throughout the short time that i've known of this Hong Kong-born, now London-based musician, i've accrued almost a laundry lists worth of demos, EPs, live tracks, etc. in anticipation of this debut, which i'm sure will satisfy many folks once it's released on February 3rd via [...]
The BPA has released the official video for their single "He's Frank" featuring Iggy Pop... as a puppet! The puppetized punker gets to some punching toward the end of the video. Very entertaining. In addition to this there are 8, count 'em 8, remixes of the single available here. The BPA (Ft. Iggy Pop) - He's Frank (Live in Tokyo 1978) The BPA (Ft. Iggy Pop) - He's Frank (The Twelves Remix) The BPA (Ft. Iggy Pop) - He's [...]
Dav og velkommen til Getting Your Goat . Det er mandag (egentlig er det lige blevet tirsdag da klokken nu er 00.21) og jeg glæder mig allerede til det bliver weekend igen...dagen i dag er gået med at arbejde og 2½ times teori (jeg er i gang med at tage kørekort), helt seriøst, teori-undervisning burde de bruge som en torturmetode på Guantanamo-basen! Så kedeligt og forfærdeligt er det. Nå men bloggen er lige startet [...]

Si dovrebbe dire, a un certo punto che "basta con le cantautrici, sto sito è una fucina di chitarrine e vocine gne gne gne che poi sostanzialmente fanno dumaroni di questa portata. Basta su, cresci". Vero, tutto vero eh, per carità. Poi però faccio spallucce e vado avanti. Sì perchè quest'anno (e giurateci su che sarà così) leggerete questo nome in tutte, o quasi, le playlist; sentirete dire di questa ragazza che è la new thing, che come lei nessuno mai, che perdio non si sentiva una così dai tempi dell'esordio di (e scegliete una cantautrice con cui [...]
Photography by Sophie Sea Monster Got an incredible album to talk about today but first, a little "thanks" are in order. Defying all kinds of sense and logic, and possibly gravity, you guys made me No. 1 on Elbo.ws last week! Now, you ARE aware this is TSURU RADIO, right? Not Gorillas and/or Bears , or gummy stereos ... Nor are we from Kentucky [...]

Great song and I'm hopefully seeing her play on the 20th February .
I have been hearing good things about Emma-Lee Moss, aka Emmy The Great for the past few months or so. I was told that her style is similar to acts such as Laura Marling and Johnny Flynn. So, being a fan of both and the UK folk/anti-folk scene, I decided to check out Emmy The Great’s soon to be released record, First Love . After spending much of my weekend listening to it, I have officially fallen in love with Emmy The Great! First Love is just full of incredible songs. "Absentee", "The Easter Parade", and "City [...]
Emmy The Great - First Love Singer/Songwriter med lite smak av folkpop från någon del av Storbritannien. Låten är från det kommande albumet som heter just First Love .
Liam Henry It's really of no surprise whatsoever that I misread the offer tied to pre-orders of Sky Larkin's debut album The Golden Spike , which I reported on a couple weeks back . I had thought that by committing to the purchase, you'd immediately get MP3 downloads of both the album proper and the live recordings of the same songs. As it turns out, you just get the live set. But that's okay, because February 9 isn't that far off and the live version of [...]

Norman Cook seems, by now, to have had more musical modes and eras than Madonna. He started in The Housemartins, spent a fair portion of his life as Fatboy Slim, and has played around with Beats International and Freak Power in between. Now he's started up a little project by the name of The BPA (which is short for The Brighton Port Authority, so yer knows). Personally, this looks to be his
