Hello. Exciting stuff has been happening here at Stranger Collective which means we need to make a glut of changes to our website.
Things are starting to take shape, but until we're ready to share what it's all about please feel free to look around the existing website. You'll be able to find out more about where the Collective has come from, what we've been up to over the last eight years and where we're headed.
Emmy the Great has announced details of her debut album.
The hotly-tipped Londoner has been been working on the record alongside members
of The Earlies, and provided the following dispatch on her MySpace blog;
"hellol,
apparently there have been accusations of flippancy
when it comes to the album. i do assure you that we're only making fun
because all the other 23 hours of the day we're working really hard.even now as i type i am thinking hard about the final
mixes (nnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggg - that is the sound of me thinking). I
don't know if any of this helps but the album will be called First Love and it
is coming out in September. Track listing at the moment is: Absentee/ 24/ We
Almost had a Baby/ the Easter Parade/ Dylan/ City Song/ First Love/ MIA/ Bad
Things Coming, We Are Safe/ On the Museum Island/ Everything Reminds me of You/
War"
That's her spelling and grammar, not ours...
She also promised to put a new song (one that didn't make
it onto the album) up for download in the next month, so keep checking her
MySpace for that.
In the meantime, here's a video of Emmy playing possibly
the world's smallest guerrilla gig:
