Indie folk music’s favourite lyrically outrageous beauty is back with four brand new and brilliant tracks for your undoubtedly grateful consumption.
Since seeing Emmy for the first time at Norwich Arts Centre earlier this year on the very same day her debut album ‘First Love’ was released, I just haven’t been able to get enough of her haunting folk-inspired melodies. ‘Edward’ only strengthens these feelings.
From the soulful and delicate opening of ‘Edward Is Deadward’, this is an EP that is both instantly captivating and extremely inspiring to its listener; ‘Two Steps Forward’ and ‘A Bowl Collecting Blood’ showcase Emmy’s amazing songwriting ability and demonstrate her natural ability to produce unique and beautiful songs with a completely accidental radio quality.
If you liked ‘First Love’, this EP will not disappoint. If you never picked up a copy of ‘First Love’ (shame on you – go and buy a copy right now!), this is a fantastic introduction. And if you haven’t heard Emmy The Great yet but are a fan of Laura Marling or any of the other indie folk pioneers from London Town, grab your copy of ‘Edward’ now.
i absolutely love her. it’s a shame for her that the mainstream hasn’t really caught onto her yet – but just give it time.
