‘The Future’s Void’ is available to pre-order on CD, Cassette and LP (limited edition lavender coloured vinyl), or you can get it from iTunes and Amazon. This is the follow-up to her acclaimed 2011 LP, ‘Past Life Martyred Saints,’ and was written by Erika M. Anderson, recorded in Portland, Oregon, and produced by Erika and Leif Shackelford.
EMA recently told NME that the album was influenced by, among other things, NiN demos, the heavier side of early K Records, and William Gibson’s Neuromancer, and that the album looks at the digital commodification of our online lives.
She says, “I gravitate toward hooks and melodies, and in some ways the structure of these songs are my poppiest yet,” while noting that the jarring production includes a lot of first takes and spontaneously-recorded ambient sounds “to keep the songs from being advertisements.”
EMA will be hitting the road starting at SXSW and visits pretty much everywhere.
