London, United Kingdom (2005 – present)
Emmy the Great is fronted by Emma-Lee Moss, born in Hong Kong and now living in London, United Kingdom, noted for her evocative / thought-provoking lyrics and inventive rhymes. Songfacts says that she was born to an English father and a Chinese mother and was into music from a young age. Emma-Lee performed with Lightspeed Champion in 2007 alongside Florence Welch of Florence and The Machine . She has also played with Noah And The Whale, though was not officially a member of either line up.
Emma started performing in 2005 and her first release was the “Secret Circus EP” the following year. After a series of further singles and EPs her debut album “First Love” (Close Harbour) was released in February 2009. The album was ranked by The New York Times at #7 in their list of “Best Albums of the Year 2009.”
As well as Emma, the band includes Euan Hinshelwood (of Younghusband) and Tom Rogerson (of Three Trapped Tigers).
Emmy’s sophomore album, Virtue, was released on June 13, 2011. It started out as a third person project, however, the religious conversion of her fiancé and their subsequent break-up inspired her to take a personal approach towards her song-writing.

Check out a blogpost about Emmy - presenting another great, yet far too unknown singer-songwriter - with sweet, yet terribly direct and honest songs! http://soundepiphany.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/emmy-the-great-paper-forest/

Trellick Tower is probably one of the great love songs. I just keep playing it. This album has a very different sound to her first but it is still stunningly beautiful. As is she, why did he leave her LOL!

Dinosaur Sex is tolerable/enjoyable after the first plays. The rest makes me almost vomit. Same occurred with her first album, I can't tolerate the authoritative attitude pro-feminist with a "i don't give a f*ck about you" while subtly imploring for attention. And the acoustic texture she/someone else creates to the music worsens my sickness. It's bad because she seems talented and could be more enjoyable by simply drop her lazy/demagogic/petty attitude and putting some actual vibrant sonority input. Do this, Emmy, and someday I will stand listening to what you have to say ;)

Does anyone have the "Take Me I'm Free" EP or the "The Secret Circus" or "The Hypnotist's Son" singles? Not just the songs, but the actual single with other songs included? Those are the only bits missing from my collection on Emmy.
