Anti-folk music. NME say “honey voiced Angel”. But thats way to sweet. Even twee is pushing it. Drowned in Sound hit the proverbial nail on the head and really do her justice by mentioning Regina Spektor and Bob Dylan in a review. The beatiful Emmy the Great creates beautiful and simple stories of dreams, moves, birds, sewing needles and a ball of string. The charming and shy intensity of the voice is matched by a marked concentration from a stunned crowd, witnessed at Truck Festival - her performance in the middle of the afternoon was undoubtedly the most packed tent that weekend. I have yet to hear a track by Emmy I am not completly bowled over by. She currently has 3982 friends. Get that up to 4000 by making friends on myspace and hear some more of her music especially Absentee and current single Secret Circus.
