About

Emma Ruth Rundle doesn't just sing songs; she crafts sonic cathedrals out of sorrow and strength, each note a carefully placed brick in structures that both haunt and heal. Her music, a mesmerizing blend of slowcore's deliberate pace, shoegaze's ethereal wash, and the raw emotionality of folk, feels like witnessing a private exorcism performed in widescreen. Rundle emerged from the Los Angeles art-rock scene, cutting her teeth in bands like The Nocturnes and Red Sparowes before embarking on a solo career that blossomed with albums like "Some Heavy Ocean" and "Marked for Death." These releases established her as a singular voice, unflinchingly honest and capable of conjuring profound intimacy. Her unflinching exploration of personal demons and vulnerability has resonated deeply, cementing her status as a cult icon for those drawn to darkness and beauty. Rundle’s collaborations with Thou on the critically acclaimed "May Our Chambers Be Full" further expanded her sonic palette, exploring heavier, more abrasive textures. Known for her captivating live performances, Rundle continues to tour and create, constantly pushing the boundaries of her sound and exploring new depths of emotional expression, solidifying her position as a vital force in contemporary independent music.
