Description
Having teased us with a new track ‘Satellites’ last month, released to rave reviews & scored Pitchfork’s Best New Music who said “The most bracing thing yet from an artist already more bracing than most”, EMA returns with her highly anticipated 2nd album The Future’s Void, released on 7 April via City Slang.
Erika M. Anderson first graced the limelight under the guise of EMA in 2011, when the brilliantly scuffed debut LP Past Life Martyred Saints was released to a multitude of acclaim. An absorbing & ambitious masterpiece that revealed a unique and feed - backed noisy guitar style, a skill for visceral songwriting and a DIY recording ethos, it showcased a distinctive sonic signature that sounded like nothing else around.
If Past Life Martyred Saints was an inward exploration of human relationships & their toll, The Future’s Void catapults them out into space, both thematically & musically.
The Future’s Void is a record that seeks to deal with the fact that certain ideas that once seemed futuristic are now the norm, while also trying to sidestep a lot of the musical tropes that come along with exploring technology. It straddles the ugly and animalistic, the pretty & civilised, the digital and the analog and the past and the present, resulting in a timeless & yet timely piece of work. And like any great punk record, it questions social convention & rebels against the status quo.
