Emma Ruth Rundle announces new album
Marked for Death
Out September 30th on Sargent House
“…Rundle’s voice is magnetic, possessing not only a tingling electricity, but also a compelling tenderness.” – Consequence of Sound
“…a sort of old-souled wisdom, conjuring the vastness of a sea.” – Pitchfork
“… a sophomore effort of Cat Power-like tenderness and PJ Harvey-level intensity.” – Fader
Singer/songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle has announced her sophomore solo album,Marked For Death, which will be released on September 30th on Sargent House. The album mines feelings of loss, defeat, heartache and self-destructiveness and emerges asEmma Ruth Rundle‘s most honest and compelling accomplishment to date. Marked For Death’s title track – which premiered on The FADER is a past-tense treatise on doomed love and blooms into a cascading murmuration of guitar and strings, its towering, epic presence characteristic of much of Rundle’s work.
Exemplified by the candid, unglamorous cover portrait, Marked For Death takes a persuasive argument for its creator’s utter helplessness in the shadow of defeat. And through a potent dose of dark, hypnotic rock every bit as satisfying as her work withMarriages and Red Sparowes, Marked for Death’s most resonant element is Emma Ruth Rundle herself, settling in to her role as singer/songwriter. Her rich voice, alternately jostled and cradled by the sounds conjured from her guitar, feels more present, perhaps even more deliberate, than ever before.
More news coming soon. For now, see Emma Ruth Rundle on tour in Europe withWovenhand in September and October and pre-order Marked For Death here.
