For Emmy the Great news see below... From: London via Hong Kong Label: Fear and Records/Drowned in Sound Discography Singles - EP’s: Secret Circus (Fear and Records/Drowned in Sound) March 2006 I first encountered Emmy as she sat quietly in our studio waiting as we all bustled around setting things up. A slight wisp of a girl, she could have gone unnoticed for quite some time, however right from the moment she rose and took my hand, any impression of her as timid or shy were dispelled as quickly as the hush descended when she hit her first note. A strong and controlled lady, full of a music layered with poignant reminiscence, she closes her eyes and strums out the revealing lyrics of what she dubbed "her diarrhoea song". The confident and evocatively husky voice that emanates is enough to have our presenters Ayden and Padraic lost in a slightly devotional stupor, which continues through the interview and long after into the warm pubs of a London night. Emmy seems to have inherited the mantle of anti-folk hero, and bemused rather than unhappy by the title, she certainly can claim the sincerity and earnest betrayals of life that can be found in the anti-folk that emanated from New York. A big fan of the Moldy Peaches, Regina Spektor and others, the influence is clear, but she brings a joy to things too. Her delicate slights of voice dangle and tease the listener, painting her stories in emotion. Sounds a bit like: Regina Spektor Like this, try this: Jeremy Warmsley en http://www.musicsnobbery.com/2008/09/rock-to-be-hard-on-the-ultimate-mix-tape-today-noon-2pm.html <p><a href="http://musicsnobbery.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345160c569e200e552d494a38834-pi"></a> </p> <p>Good stuff for on today&#39;s show.. <a href="http://mixtapestream.musicsnobbery.com/">Click here between</a> <strong>Noon-2pm EST today </strong>to hear the show.
