Our first cover reveal for issue 83 is none other than the revered solo artist and master of the craft Emma Ruth Rundle. Get the issue here.

Rundle’s latest album, These Killing Times, drops as a self-release on September 18 and is a reflection of our current moment as a society.

“(These Killing Times) has a lot of anger—but it also has hope on it—which was an important thing for me to include because I personally need hope,” Rundle says about the album. “There’s no way for me to separate my own experience from what I do in my music. Thinking on it now, it probably would have been a good idea to just do something a little less personal, but at the same time, in my career, I can’t separate the art and the artist. In my world it’s not separate.”
