Emiliana Torrini - Me And Armini - Rough Trade

Following on from her critically acclaimed sets Love In The Time Of Science and her first for Rough Trade Fisherman's Woman, Emiliana Torrini’s third album Me And Armini (released 8th September) once again sees her working with long time producer/collaborator Dan Carey.

Title track 'Me And Armini' (released August 18th, 2008) is a song about "stalkery love": over a hypnotic, summery track reminiscent of classic Dawn Penn, Emilíana recounts the story of a burly Icelandic policeman depositing an obsesso-fan back to the airport (having travelled from Italy to come and live with her in her family's home).

From this quirky and contagious opener, the record runs the gamut of musical styles, from the surging, breathless single "Jungle Drum" to the yearning, spine-tingling "Big Jumps". A hugely ambitious pop record that keeps Emiliana's soaring voice firmly at center stage, Me And Armini is a captivating experience from beginning to end.
