Just in time for the next Bandcamp no-fee day (and 10 whole years after DiS gave Does It Look Like I’m Here? album of the year) Emeralds are putting up a bunch of old recordings, including remastered cassettes and CD-Rs:

And much as I love some of the various solo releases by the three of them, the “more Emeralds activity tba” bit of this has me properly hyped up:

London gig too!
Would go to this if it wasn’t on Halloween

Awesome support too
