It happens every year, without fail: a few weeks into the year, I come across an album that totally would’ve made my year-end list had I only heard about it sooner. This year there are a couple of albums that fall into that category so far this year (Quest For Fire, come on down), but Heirloom, the most recent album from Wintermitts, is probably the most egregious error I’ve caught so far.

For myself, the wait for Emmy the Great’s debut album First Love, has only been a little over a year. But for many more long-time fans, the wait has been what I imagine is a more excruciating three or four years.Throughout the short time that i’ve known of this Hong Kong-born, now London-based musician, i’ve accrued almost a laundry lists worth of demos, EPs, live tracks, etc. in anticipation of this debut, which i’m sure will satisfy many folks once it’s released on February 3rd via Rough Trad
