Name: Look!Strangers - Why Are You So Rough ? by Look!Strangers
Duration: 2 min 52 s
Description: Banda Look!Strangers - Lucas Cyrne, Eduardo Helaehil. Folk Reggae (?)

'Petals Fallen Off The Sun' marks the return of critically acclaimed UK singer-songwriter Terry Emm. Praised by the likes of Bob Harris, Tom Robinson, Mojo and Uncut for his 2009 debut effort 'White Butterflies', this long awaited second album moves into more band orientated territory. 

Whilst maintaining the English singer-songwriter sensibilities and intricate finger picked guitars of the former, the inventive and building drums of Vinnie Lammi and careful instrumental touches by producer Richard Durrant alongside Emm's confessional lyrics, result in a sound in the most part resembling what it would perhaps sound like if Nick Drake or Clifford T Ward fronted a band like Gravenhurst or Red House Painters.

At times, the production is stark and stripped back as in 'Monet', an Anji-esque folkie song where Emm is empathizing metaphorically with the life of the painter, his finger-picking ringing brightly and clear voice soaring above. In the sweet 'Sarah', a song for Emm's sister, the drums and accordian float along pleasantly and Durrant's nylon stringed guitar chimes poignantly, making way for Emm's emotive vocals. The sparkling guitar layered La's-esque 'Here' and almost Led Zeppelin-esque rocky  'Snow' add other flavours to this melting pot, almost as if each song is a different shaded petal fallen from the varied experiences and musical influences of this mature singer-songwriter and his collaborators.

'Petals Fallen Off The Sun' is available to pre-order now from http://www.richard-durrant.com/pages/terry-emm/7026  and is scheduled to be released officially on 09th June 2012. A tour of intimate venues featuring guest accompaniment is planned for late April/May- watch http://www.terryemm.co.uk for confirmations.

Terry Emm - Loved And Never Lost

Out 3rd June 2013 (Azez Records)

Terry Emm is increasingly gaining recognition and high plaudits for creating slow burning understated alt-folk with beautiful arrangements, English sensibilities and endearing poetic lyrics. 

'Loved And Never Lost' is the first single to be taken from Emm's forthcoming third album, the track details Emm's sentimental reflections on his changing life and perspectives on the world around him and perhaps signals a coming of age and maturing from the earlier teenage efforts of his critically acclaimed 'White Butterflies' debut and the recent angst ridden 'Petals Fallen Off The Sun' album. Calina De La Mare's (Sophia, Tindersticks) majestic string arrangements soar above stumbling and building epic drums by Stuart Wilkinson and producer Michael Clarke's (Clarkesville, Dan Whitehouse) subtle accompaniments in what makes for a moving and beautiful track with a certain timeless quality to it. 

The release of ‘Loved And Never Lost’ follows the success of the pretty Christmas single 'Gently' which received much airplay including from the likes of Gideon Coe and Chris Hawkins on BBC 6 Music and the animated video for which was picked up by over 50 music blogs around the world, including The Guardian Music Blog.
