MPFRee 21st APRIL

The last time she was heard on record was backing Darren 'Hefner' Hayman on his single 'Circle of Trust' from the back end of 2010.

Now Emmy the Great's back in her own right with a new album, Virtue due out in mid-June about which she is "very excited". You can share her excitement by downloading your free track from it, 'A Woman, A Woman, A Century of Sleep' here.

Also exciting is today's session from improv specialists the About Group whose second album Start and Complete, recorded in just one day at Abbey Road studios, is out on Domino. Between them the band have served time in This Heat, Spiritualized, Derek Bailey and Hot Chip.

Tomorrow's the first of the nice sequence of Bank Holidays (UK listeners only) so we're also taking requests for Friday's show. Roll up, roll up... anything you like! Email, text or tweet in your choices.
