Beyond the fact that she was a member of the recently disbanded drone-folk trio Gowns, I know barely anything about EMA (Erika M. Anderson). I was just tipped off to her the other night via Fuck Buttons’ Andrew Hung but I did manage to find this bio she wrote up:
Erika M. Anderson grew up in the dive bars and rotten graveyards of South Dakota. She is a direct descendent of Erik Blood-Axe, the ruthless Viking warrior. All the boys ask her why she is so tough. She is 6 feet tall. She loves the jukebox.
If you aren’t smitten with that description, please leave now. Slow-burning epic “The Grey Ship” bears some resemblance to recent faves Esben & The Witch and Warpaint, but it’s composed in more of a build-and-release, post-rock structure. Presumably, this will show up on her forthcoming solo debut. Can’t wait.
