Yes. Yes! YES!!!
Sorry to go all Meg Ryan on you there, but after a handful of some very ordinary stuff to write about, it’s clear that this Icelandic-born, Edinburgh based singer has some great tricks up his sleeve, and some great tracks -and five of them are on this EP. Acoustic pop can tend towards the bland, being as there’s just so much of it, but Mr. Hemm-Hemm (who was recommended to me by none other than Withered Hand a few months ago) has pruduced an EP of such loveliness it restores your faith in music, to say nothing of human nature. It’s his first release all in English, but what I have heard from this man so far, he could be rapping his shopping list in Hungarian or reciting devil worshiping instructions in a tongue previously unheard and it would still be awesome.
