This week features the delightful April / 月音 from Emmy the Great. It was released last year but I didn't find time to play more than a few tracks. Here we are now, back in its namesake month, and something about the peace and calm and exploration of a divided sense of home and place feels natural as we poke our heads out from under the pandemic haze.
