Singer/Songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle has streamed her upcoming full length. Marked For Death is officially out September 30th via Sargent House but can be streamed below. This record has a dark subject matter, finding Rundle captivating her grief in deep textural atmospheres that haunt the entirety of the record. Emma Ruth Rundle is on tour in Europe with Wovenhand.
Marked for Death finds Emma Ruth Rundle emerging as a performer of naked intensity. She shapes vast, evocative landscapes of sound, combining them with lyrics of devastating candor. Self-determination and resiliency, disguised in this case as coming to terms with overwhelming defeat, are key aspects of her personality. Transforming pain into works of great beauty makes her the compelling artist she is. A more adventurous production than her solo debut Some Heavy Ocean (2014, Sargent House), the eight compositions on Marked for Death, helmed by engineer/co-producer Sonny DiPerri, emphasize dynamics and vocal melodies, variable tuning, and a dense layering and texturing of guitars. 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.
