Emil & Friends consists of Emil Hewitt and his friends: the killer bassline and his “mixologist” brain. Plus a rotating team of musicians of course… In what he describes as “weird pop,” he creates a version of combined disco and indie pop that doesn’t always travel in a straight line, but can still keep you moving with it. He just announced a that the upcoming LP “Lo & Behold” will be released in October, but you should stop by for his year-old baby EP available for stream here. Here’s a video from last year’s record. – Caitlin Clive
