The inventive, acoustic guitar-wielding folksinger Emma-Lee Moss was born in Hong Kong and moved with her family to England, where she became a fixture of the burgeoning London anti-folk scene. The young singer/songwriter collaborated with Lightspeed Champion, Fyfe Dangerfield, and Jeremy Warmsley, and her audience grew as she shared the stage with the likes of Martha Wainwright, Tilly and the Wall, and Kimya Dawson.
Reminiscent of Belle & Sebastian’s early output, ‘First Love’ has the power to disarm and reward you anew on repeat listens. It contains songs with simple, unobtrusive melodies masking idiosyncratic, literary and often acerbic observations of modern young relationships, the lyrics delivered in Emmy’s clear and confident voice.
