Emmy The Great

Emmy The Great looks every inch the gamine folkie, but her still waters belie dark and twisted tales. Prone to tunes like "Edward Is Dedward" (where a woman attends her lover's funeral only to end up in bed with his father) and lines like "Every time that I think of you, I have to go to the toilet", the girl has built a steady portfolio juxtaposing her soothe-swaying guitar sound with an unblinking honesty. Sugar and spice, indeed. You can now hear it all on Emmy's debut, First Love, which will charm, shock, make you laugh and break your heart all that once. And well, they don't call her The Great for nothing.

Get First Love at all good record stores.
