With The Delgados disbanding in 2005, it’s wonderful news to find out this morning that former lead singer Emma Pollock will be releasing her very own solo debut! I was definitely caught by surprise, and i’m really excited to see how this new venture for her turns out. The record is called Watch The Fireworks and will be released on September 11th through 4AD Records.
The fine folks at Beggars have provided a free download off the upcoming album, and I must say that it feels odd listening to Emma sing without the backing of The Delgados members. Just off this one track, it seems to rely heavily on strong melodies while being primarily piano based. I actually have the full album here, so I plan on listening to it at work later today.
You can catch her on tour as she’ll be with The New Pornographers (!) starting on October 11th in Edmonton through November 5th. Full tour dates are up on her myspace page.
