Emoh is the first solo album from Lou Barlow, the Sebadoh and Folk Implosion frontman. The album was released in 2005 and recorded at The Beech House Recording Megaplex (2004) in Wedgewood Sound, Nashville, Tennessee, United States.
Rolling Stone (No. 967, p. 84) gave the album 3 stars out of 5 and noted: "[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."

Not yet
no heart or flower
nothing speaks to me
I am your indolent soldier
no authority have I
Daydreaming
fetal feeling
on the void again
I am close
getting closer
closer to the end
Oh my lover
morning's after me
no more running
face the dawn and turn your back on me
Blue eyed lizard
I am ordened to withdraw
stripped mined
my own mind
a needle needle crawl
And replace
abandon a love that couldn't give no more
is it wrong
to belong for a world that I've never seen before
Oh my lover
morning's after me
no more running
face the dawn and turn your back on me
Crack in the branches
hung from a familytree
Oh
Morning's after me
the other side
the boy the soldier be
into the light
into the void
I am free
another life
morning after me
Crack in the branches
hung from a family tree
crack in the branches
hung from a familytree
