cairo gang: goes missing

Playing with other artists over the years (BONNIE PRINCE BILLY), Emmett Kelly has exhibited an encompassing approach to music which lends flexibility to The Cairo Gang's song-style. He's a harmony singer of supreme skill, bringing not only a sweet & supple voice but also a tremendous sympathy to the singing of it. The impulse to dig underneath the bittersweet heart, to invert meaning, shapes the songs of "Goes Missing", with the album concentrating on themes of new identity.
