EMILY REO covers Built to Spill and gets blogg-ed by Get Off the Coast.

Recent favorite Emily Reo just sent over this fantastic cover ofBuilt To Spill’s “Car”. I loved this song in high school so I was definitely thrilled. Emily gives it her typical slowed down tape-organ sound, while her vocals bring the proper emotion to the song. I’m sure BTS would be proud.

awesome!

WHOA DUDE. EMILY REO on YOU AINT NO PICASSO

Emily Reo has been getting a lot of love from music bloggers that I trust, but whose tastes don’t always strongly overlap with mine. Turns out, though, that this is one of the times where we can all agree. Get Off the Coast loves her, the Decibel Tolls thinks she’s rad and now I’m on board too.

Maybe it’s because I don’t normally listen to too much in this vein, but my brain immediately leaps to early Beach House as the closest comparison for Reo’s “Metal On Your Skin.” It’s a light drone pop song with airy female vocals.

so got some excellent news today - our very first signee Mr. Nick Sprysenski - otherwise known to the world as Crutch and the Giant Junshi (that’s him above) - will be returning from the enormous New York City for five days in february. he allowed me to release his record as our first foree into record releasing (probably because he holds the distinction of being my closest little friend in the world). above is a track from his album we released (Caterwaul - copies still available) - he’s coming home to work on finishing a new record (coming sooonnnnn).

if it’s anything like the last one it will win every award ever for local music. be completely over the heads of 99% of the people who listen to it. and make music critics break a promise they made to themselves years ago by comparing him to tom waits.

we love this artist and we’re so happy he’s followed us to our new home.

Dig the love from Get Off the Coast - a most excellent blog - CLICK HERE to see them in action good sirs and madams.

Emily Reo makes soft drone pop reminiscent of the winter ocean and Pan’s Labyrinth. Her songs are soft and subtle, allowing you to slip into a comfort zone where these jams will decide to live forever. Her new cassette titled Minha Gatinha is available now through A Dracula Records. Totally moist vibes.

thank you very much get off the coast - who also have a dope tumblr

After a year and a half, this blog finally seems to be at the point where the MySpace electro DJs have removed me from their mailing lists and their void is being replaced by personal emails from artists I actually want to write about. I awoke to one such email last week and have been eager to share her sound with you.

Emily Reo cites Kria Brekkan and Beach House as influences, which means this week makes for the perfect timing to introduce you to her music. Hollow and oceanic feeling, Reo’s music sounds like it was recorded in a dark cove nestled along some desolate stretch of unnamed beach. Droning organ, tentative childlike snare clacks and distant vocals full of longing characterize a lo-fi sound best listened to in hi-fi. More than Beach House, Brekkan, or her other cited influences (Best Coast, Julian Lynch and Tickley Feather), Reo’s music reminds me of the murky, introspective reflections of A Gal.

While I personally prefer the style of Emily Reo’s original compositions, her voice shines in a different light on YouTube (accompanied by friend David Levesque) via two acoustic covers — Beach House’s Turtle Island and St. Vincent’s Marry Me.

Dig the lovely review of miss Emily Reo’s album Minha Gatinha from the decibel tolls!

Sunny good-times Orlando doesn’t necessarily seem the type of milieu that begets sequestered and supremely haunting lo-fi. But it did, and Emily Reo is decidedly in a league of her own. Simple synths, swells of tape warmth, junky drum machines, a touch of vibraphone, and distorted, melodic, post doo wop vocals certainly evokes Tickley Feather or a totally fucked version of Beach House. However, Reo adopts a more cathedral-tinged approach, demonstrated on “Metal For Your Skin” – a song too expansive for the bedroom. “Tell Us All” features a masterful incorporation of the evasive “circus waltz” that you no longer hear much in skewed pop music. Her full length Minha Gatinha is available now.
