Description
EMA
Fans of guitar noise will have crossed paths with EMA as the scorching guitarist in legendary folk/noise outfit Amps For Christ before forming the genre-defying cult duo Gowns with Ezra Buchla, which Pitchfork called “one of the most heartstoppingly great live bands on earth”. A native of South Dakota, the dead centre of America's great empty heartland, EMA’s unique and at times dervish-like guitar style, visceral songwriting expressions and DIY recording ethos have seen her develop a distinctive sonic signature, somewhat neurotically assembled and essentially raw, the product of obsession by somebody who never learned the ‘right’ way to do things. Besides making music, EMA has been involved in video, performance and curating multimedia shows in West Oakland and LA.
EMA’s songs are filled with harmonies and hooks that exist right in those sweet spots between melody and dissonance. It is a knowing voice, the sound of a drunken laugh while crying.
“Most exciting of all has been the arrival of new single 'Grey Ship' b/w 'Kind Heart' by solo artist Erika M. Anderson aka EMA... Slay it does” The Quietus
