Emma Pollock – “Paper and Glue” 7”
4AD, 2007
Acquired: Love Garden, Used, 2009
Price: $.50
Emma Pollock is best known as one of the founding members of
the fantastic Scottish alt-rock group the Delgados. Through the band’s ten year
run they released six albums, but my introduction to the band (and really, the
only work of theirs I’ve listened to) as through their career-spanning 2006
double-disc Peel Sessions compilation. Both tracks here play like standard
pop-based singer-songwriter fare. Aimee Mann is a good touchstone. Though
Pollock’s vocals are lovely and her songs also lovely, this seven-inch is more
lovely little else. There are worse things than being lovely. Have I mentioned
this is just lovely? Lovely lovely lovely.
