Emmy the Great

Continuing my ode to London anti-folk, here's a great performance by Emmy the Great in a Black Cab Session. Especially likeable are the fiddle plucks. TMC-ers are suckers for them, as well as hand claps, shoop shoop's, bop bop's, and la la's; occasionally, we are also suckers for banjos, accordions, and xylophones.

I don't know what the song below is called, but it's enjoyable. Also check out "Canopies and Grapes," one of my favo(u)rites, through the ol' Hype Machine. At first, it seems like it's an unbelievably emo break-up song, but when she sings that she "feels worse than when S Club 7 broke up" I can't help but smile a little.
