American Idol Free Week!

I caught hell from everyone I saw this weekend about the amount of time I was devoting to American Idol and Sanjaya as of late. I have to agree with them, too much time has been given to that tone-deaf jackass and the show he's on, so this week I am going to devote most of the blog's space to real musicians.
The first one is another artist I found because of Good Weather for Airstrikes. Emmy the Great is a UK-based band and have yet to make a big splash in the U.S. But they are definitely poised to do so.
Emmy writes songs that are simple in structure and complicated in content, making for an interesting listen. Folk music with a hint of indie street cred interlaced with poetic themes of psychosis inspired by lost love and happiness in isolation. Awesome stuff. GWFA posted the group's Canopies and Grapes, and it's an awesome single. Check it out below!
