Emma Ruth Rundle – “Arms I Know So Well”
Los Angeles-based Emma Ruth Rundle has her hands in a lot of different projects, most notably Marriages, the Nocturnes, and Red Sparowes, all of which deal in moody and atmospheric post-rock. “Arms I Know So Well” is her first solo effort — besides some ambient noise pieces she has up on Bandcamp — and it traverses the same ground, setting her vocals underneath a heavy mix of scratchy textures and reverb. The most immediate comparison that comes to mind is a softer, folkier version of EMA, who also got her start in the noise scene before branching out. The track comes from her upcoming debut Some Heavy Ocean. Listen below.
