Interview: Emily and the Woods
Illustration: Mary Machin Having seen Emily Wood of Emily and the Woods live in Liverpool earlier in the year, we can vouch for her as being one of the up and comers of the acoustic world.

His mixture of musical textures, heard on songs such as ‘It’s Always Like This’, remind of Paul Simon, and even in his most melancholy moments, there’s still a hint of warmth there.
