yvynyl brings us today a brand new track from Emmett Kelly (AKA The Cairo Gang). I’ve been following his work since I saw him playing with Bonnie “Prince” Billy a couple of years ago here in town, and judging by this new song we might have a gem of an album waiting for us next October 23rd.
The Cairo Gang – Now You Are One of Us
Emmett Kelly is a man about town. He’s played on every recent Bonnie “Prince” Billy record, engineered, produced, and performed as the entire backing band on the new Angel Olsen album, and been “heavily involved” in dozens of other projects in the weird folk scene. He’s a man who loves music with every fiber of his being, and that comes through on tracks like this. Oh my god that guitar flourish cuts me deep.
Pre-order the The Corner Man LP from Empty Cellar Records before it comes out on October 23rd.
