Emoh is a solo album by Lou Barlow, the first with his real name; the album was released in the USA in 2005 by Domino and by Merge Records and recorded in 2004.[2][3][4]
Rolling Stone gave the album 3 stars out of 5 and noted:[5] "[F]ull of quiet lyricism and Nick Drake beauty..." Uncut (p. 108) gave 4 stars out of 5 and said: "Using acoustic guitar, piano and vocals, he delivers 14 sweetly somber neo-folk tunes that reveal just how subtly persuasive the man's influence really is."
