Emma-Lee Moss, known by her stage name Emmy the Great, is a London-based singer-songwriter and journalist. She has released two albums to date, First Love and Virtue. I discovered Emmy the Great after seeing her at Summer Sundae in Leicester just after her first album, the title track, First Love, which details exactly that – a four and a half minute odyssey of self discovery that climatically ends with the only orgasm I ever heard on a song apart from Je t’aime moi non plus as a teenager.

LAYLA – ” Weighless ” Wonderland Sessions
Posted: November 14, 2014 in WE LOVETags: Black Mud EP, Layla, singer songwriter, Weightless EP
I’ve been hooked since I saw LAYLA at the Communion Records “Bushstock” down in Shepherd Bush earlier this year then the faboulas unleashed ‘Smokestacks’ EP back in March, a blisteringly epic track that kept me happy until April’s release of her EP, ‘Black Mud’. She didn’t stop there; retreating to ‘the Burrow’, a sanctuary of a recording space at the bottom of her garden LAYLA emerged with ‘Weightless’ – the eponymous title track of her new EP, and an anthem in it’s own right.

Posted: November 14, 2014 in MUSICTags: As Old As The Grave, Eaves, Leeds, singer songwriter
Taken from the Eaves EP released Nov 10th (USA 27th Oct) Joseph Lyons aka Eaves is in his early 20s and based in Leeds. His debut EP titled “As Old As The Grave” comes out November 10 on Heavenly Recordings. For a young artist, his music is devastatingly mature, dealing with heartbreaking subject matter and delivered with poise. “Alone In My Mind” is a Nick Drake-esque song based on the true story of Richard Mannington Bowes, a man who tried to extinguish a fire outside his shop and was attacked and killed by a 17-year-old kid. “As Old As The Grave” touches on Eaves’ dealings with alcoholism. The topics may be ugly, but the songwriting is gorgeous for such a young talent.

EMMY The GREAT – ” Swimming Pool “
Posted: November 14, 2014 in MUSICTags: Bella Union, Emmy the Great, singer songwriter, Swimming Pool
With two albums released to date there is a new album due out early next year, Both those albums attracted widespread critical acclaim but, after Virtue, Moss took a break from composing her own albums to engage in a variety of activities that demonstrate her polymath nature, including rock music journalism and blogging, feature writing on cultural issues, philosophising, political activism as well as part-composing the score for the 2013 film Austenland, for which she was Oscar-nominated.
These activities took her away from her West London home to travel Asia and the US widely, with spells in both California and New York and according to her comments about her forthcoming EP ‘S’ (to be released on 26 January on Bella Union) it is the itinerant nature of her recent life and the way in which both she and the world have changed so quickly that influenced the four songs on it. She describes the EP as her trying to engage with the outside world, which she perceives to be “incredibly bright and technologically breathtaking” instead of looking inwardly as she did previously.
The first track, Swimming Pool, includes a backing vocal contribution from Wild Beasts’ Tom Fleming and is a departure from her usually intricate lyrical weave. Her words are far more blunt and to the point.

It’s a gorgeous display of masterful talent on both Herbert and Saunders’ part. Minimalist loops and rhythms gradually morph into triumphant tectonic plates that shudder and wreak havoc on your emotional wellbeing. It’s wildly affecting, prodding the bloody core in your chest, but this isn’t achieved through lyrics – they’ve been chopped and screwed and hacked and hewed beyond recognition,
