Elvin, Emmett
The End Of Music
Emmetts third album sees a change in approach, playing most of the instruments himself - alongside the drumming powerhouse that is Alex Thomas (Chrome Hoof, Squarepusher, Badly Drawn Boy) - and also sees a greater focus on vocals than on either 'Bloody Marvels' or 'Assault On The Tyranny Of Reason'. As Emmett says: "Having of late been sorely beleaguered by testy whimbrels I decided the hour was ripe to once again beseech the assistance of that sagest of metaphysical bards, Magnus Opium."
