Emma Ruth Rundle premieres “Protection”
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
On Marked For Death (September 30, Sargent House), singer/songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle emerges as a performer of naked intensity. She shapes vast, evocative landscapes of sound, combining them with lyrics of devastating candor.
Emma Ruth Rundle unveils the second single off of the album; titled “Protection” (premiering now on Stereogum), it is a song which constructs a wall of volume around itself. The flashes of Rundle’s vulnerability and haunting melody of her vocals in turn spark great washes of guitar noise that mushroom into existence like some sonic thunderhead. Engineered/co-produced by Sonny DiPerri, Marked For Death mines feelings of loss, defeat, heartache and self-destructiveness and emerges as Emma Ruth Rundle‘s most honest and compelling accomplishment to date. Nevertheless, fear and self-doubt linger in the shadows of Rundle’s mind, providing an incessant counterpoint to her ambitious talent and sultry, albeit de-emphasized, allure.
Emma Ruth Rundle will be on tour in Europe with Wovenhand from September 12th through October 18th; in the meantime, Marked For Death is available for pre-order now through iTunes and HelloMerch.
