Emmy Wildwood Releasing EP, "Mean Love" June 24, 2014

5/30/2014

Emmy Wildwood's PR company describe her music as "ghost pop." They had to know people were going to make fun of THAT right? Is she DEAD? She looks fairly lively in her video for Mean Love (which you can also download free via Soundcloud).

Wildwood's Mean Love EP comes out June 24, 2014 on Tiger Blanket Records (her own label which shares a name with her vintage store in Williamsburg). So she is a businesswoman in addition to being a musician. Nice combination (it helps ward off that whole "artist starvation" thing).
