Your music is lovely.  I hope to see you someday.  All of the music I love seems to be either from the UK or from the other coast of the US.  Ah, well!  I get to enjoy it from here!  Thank you for the add : )

....about emily & the faves....

'Fabulous songs walk a tightrope between driving post-punk minimalism
and beautifully crafted other worldliness...a band to be cherished
and unique on a world scale not just a Liverpool one !'

Barry Sutton ( ex The La's) liverpool.com magazine

' Judging by the six treats found looming on the emily& the faves' myspace it shouldn’t be long before the music press start sniffing around and professing them to be the ones to watch. Gorgeously honeycombed treats braided by all manner of lysergic jangles, cutely attractive hooks cut with a deliriously off set dizziness.....'
