Decomposing Trees

One of my musical discoveries this year has been British folk singer Emmy the Great. She hasn't released an album as of yet but she's got a fair amount of fans including Sasha Frere Jones, music critic from the New Yorker and has recently played SXSW.

I highly recommend her for fans of Kimya Dawson and just more generally for fans of lyrical music. She also does a pretty good cover version of 'Where Is My Mind?'

Along with No Age, I have a feeling she'll be much more well known by the end of the year
