I know this post is late and I'm sorry to those of you who came looking for a new post yesterday but here it is, only 1 day late. It is a bit of a cheeky one this month with the album not actually being an album but an EP instead, but who really cares. Good music is good music.
Emmy The Great's new release S has a common theme that all the tracks start with the letter (yes you guessed it) s. The whole EP has a futuristic almost grand element running throughout with slight hints of electronic voice effects and instruments. The first two songs start fairy softly and then the energy picks up and peaks on track 3 and lowers back down to finish off the collection of songs nicely and gives you an idea of just some of her talents.
The track Swimming Pool (below) is a slow, gradually building track that has an emotionally moving narrative to the lyrics that are made stronger with the addition of the male vocals supplied from Tom Fleming from Wild Beasts.
Social Halo is probably my personal favourite track. It reminds me of a more gentle early years Tegan and Sara track. You can tell the real beauty of her voice and it has the power to make you hang on to every word that she sings. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
