Emma Ruth Rundle recently announced her new album Marked For Death and shared its tremendous title track. Now the Red Sparrowes and Marriages member is back with a second single from the album, the darkly climactic rocker “Protection.” In a press release about the album, Rundle explains, “The subject matter is largely about being defeated and shrunken into the base human themes of love and loss. It’s a far cry from high art. It’s very much from the dirt.” And yet “Protection” is a truly soaring creative work, one you should check out below.

Tracklist:

01 “Marked For Death”
02 “Protection”
03 “Medusa”
04 “Hand Of God”
05 “Heaven”
06 “So Come”
07 “Furious Angel”
08 “Real Big Sky”
