I’ve been incredibly and shamefully neglectful of great, heart rendering, finely tuned music as of late. 

Non intentional of course, it’s simply due to an ever increasing drain on my free time largely though uni, slaving for minimum wage at work, as well as the more pleasurable pursuit of interior designing on a shoe string at Springhill Manor. 

But this little beauty fell into my lap this afternoon, during the 100th (OK perhaps a slight exaggeration there) tea & YouTube break from NCTJ revision. Emily and the Woods is a friend of, been on tour with and not unlike, Laura Marling. Graduated from Exeter univsersity and hailing from London she is a folk like fairy with the faint voice to match. Easily listening at its finest, Emily has been writing since age 12 and even found song writing useful as a mean to helping her with uni work and revision. Fear not I shan’t dare to attempt this.

Coming from a wholly creative family, her dad and brother are both musical aids and influences and with an art therapist for a mother, Emily was always destined for innovative greatness.

I genuinely can’t believe I am only hearing of Emily and the Woods now but it certainly has dusted off the old cobwebs and wet my appetite for more. Have a listen here, it will chill you right out if not melt you into a gooey smiley mess.
