About

folk troubadour

- National Music Centre Canada

Indie-folk’s Irish native Emét (Emmét McGonagle) has returned with their latest musical endeavour Your Best Marionette - a segmented sequel to last year’s debut LP Carlin’s Farm which ranked in Chordblossom’s top 25 Northern Irish albums of 2022.

Celebrated as a ‘folk troubadour’ by Canada’s National Music Centre, Emét’s music takes melodic influence from Big Thief, Hozier and Phoebe Bridgers alongside Leonard Cohen-esque lashings of of romantic complacency and catharsis, earning the artist a finalist spot in 2022’s International Songwriting Competition.

“They’re making some fabulous tunes right now and you should definitely check them out” – Kennady Quille, KEXP

"Emét’s folk sound is honest and candid, familiar and refreshing: reminiscent of Hozier and Vance Joy’s debut records, Carlin’s Farm carries the folk torch forward while honoring those who came before” - Atwood Magazine

“When you speak the truth people will have no choice but to fall in love with what you’re saying, and I believe every word out of this man’s mouth” - Dig With It

“Carlin’s Farm is a confident and cohesive release and the culmination of their flowering talents. There’s more than a hint of bohemian finesse in a collection of songs that flow into each other, with musical and even lyrical links from one song to the next. Whether it’s drawing inspiration from home (JJ Johnston), weaving lines and purpose around Leonard Cohen and New York’s iconic Chelsea Hotel (The Chelsea Hotel Is Closed Until Further Notice) or fictional police raids (Seeking A Friend for the End of the World), Emét’s knack of warmly off-kilter storytelling is at home here.” - Chordblossom
