Emmy the Great

Though she emerged from the same London folk scene that gave us Mumford & Sons, Emma-Lee Moss is made of spikier stuff: her first single, 'We Almost Had a Baby', made oblique references to date rape, while new album Virtue finds her wrestling with divinity and dinosaur sex. Moss's then-fiancé found religion and promptly broke up with her while she was writing the album, but she's since hooked up with Ash frontman Tim Wheeler, who'll be playing with her in this acoustic show at Unit. Mellow Japanese guitarist DSK Kojima supports.
