For anyone that’s endured trauma and grief, there’s a beautiful solace in hearing Rundle articulate and humanize that particular type of pain not only with her words, but with her particular mysterious language of melody and timbre. The album captures a moment where a masterful songwriter strips away all flourishes and embellishments in order to make every note and word hit with maximum impact, leaving little to hide behind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sargent House","offers":[{"title":"White | LP","offer_id":50455676551499,"sku":"1132127","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver LP","offer_id":50455679402315,"sku":"2006289","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50455670686027,"sku":"1132126","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50455673504075,"sku":"1132125","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8384aa7f-dd52-4f33-b778-0b5e208803bb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727193402"},{"product_id":"on-dark-horses","title":"On Dark Horses","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe cover to Emma Ruth Rundle’s fourth solo record, \u003ci\u003eOn Dark Horses\u003c\/i\u003e, bears a blurry photo of the songwriter obscuring her face with a large toy horse with broken legs. The photo suggests something candid but also hidden, graceful but also fractured—a fitting portrait for an artist who has established a career by vacillating between shrouding herself in mystery and exposing her wounds to the world.

The mostly instrumental record follows her on a trip to the Welsh coast and down a magical well into the waters of nature, myth and the Old Golds - by way of her improvised music. The 40 plus minute album was sewn together from recordings channeled during her month-long solo journey in the early days of 2020 and completed before 2021’s critically lauded album \u003ci\u003eEngine of Hell\u003c\/i\u003e was even written. Unlike \u003ci\u003eElectric Guitar One, EG2: Dowsing Voice\u003c\/i\u003e features vocal improvisation, unconventional singing and extended vocal techniques free from lyrics - like the throat singing on “In the Cave...” which is meant to be the voices of crones gathering in a rhythmic and physical ritual. Rundle was led to these voices by unseen forces along with the immense impact of the Welsh water: ocean, rivers springs and wells that gave the album its extended title Dowsing Voice. While there is some focus on vocal and story here, her textural and even bombastic guitar improvisations are featured throughout the album.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sargent House","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50467488727371,"sku":"1151801","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red | LP","offer_id":50467488923979,"sku":"1151800","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/29c4caa1-20b6-40db-9dca-b661ec65ec81_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727338576"},{"product_id":"marked-for-death","title":"Marked For Death","description":"\u003cp\u003eSophomore solo album from Emma Ruth Rundle, (Marriages (Lead Vocals\/Guitar) and Red Sparowes (Guitar)). Emma Ruth Rundle's 2nd solo album, 'Marked for Death', mines feelings of loss, defeat, heartache and self-destructiveness to emerge with the most honest and compelling accomplishment of an already prolific career. She shapes vast, evocative landscapes of sound, combining them with lyrics of devastating candor. Self-determination and resiliency, disguised in this case as coming to terms with overwhelming defeat, are key aspects of her personality. Transforming pain into works of great beauty makes her the compelling artist she is. A more adventurous production than her solo debut Some Heavy Ocean (2014, Sargent House), the eight compositions on Marked for Death, helmed by engineer\/co-producer Sonny DiPerri, emphasize dynamics and vocal melodies, variable tuning, and a dense layering and texturing of guitars. Nevertheless, fear and self-doubt linger in the shadows of Rundle's mind, providing an incessant counterpoint to her ambitious talent and sultry, albeit de-emphasized, allure. Exemplified by the candid, unglamorous cover portrait, 'Marked For Death' takes a persuasive argument for its creator's utter helplessness in the shadow of defeat. And through a potent dose of dark, hypnotic rock every bit as satisfying as her work with Marriages and Red Sparowes, 'Marked for Death's' most resonant element is Emma Ruth Rundle herself, settling in to her role as singer\/songwriter. Her rich voice, alternately jostled and cradled by the sounds conjured from her guitar, feels more present, perhaps even more deliberate, than ever before. \u003cbr\u003eLP - Single LP with printed inner sleeve and download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sargent House","offers":[{"title":"Silver | LP","offer_id":50490237485387,"sku":"1146732","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50490236469579,"sku":"405939","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50490235191627,"sku":"405940","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d4c7ac51-47cc-4d6c-8291-1b22f92ff178_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727655511"},{"product_id":"these-killing-times","title":"These Killing Times","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmma Ruth Rundle  is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, visual artist and poet based in Portland, Oregon. Formerly of the Nocturnes and Marriages, she has released five solo albums and is a member of Red Sparowes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmma Ruth Rundle's \u003cem\u003eThese Killing Times\u003c\/em\u003e is electrifying, emotional and charged with anti-patriarchal feminist rage. The sixth studio album from the multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and multi-disciplinary artist is a reactive anthology, bristling, full of life and full of resistance; it asks us questions of our intentions and of the roles we play in the communities we exist within, and how we choose to counter the chokehold of capitalism. Sleepless nights, moments of horror, and times of anguish could be overlaid atop a timeline of recent socio-political events to map the creation of \u003cem\u003eThese Killing Times\u003c\/em\u003e; the rising power of Christian nationalism, the grotesque circus of political discourse, and related ontological discomfort. But there is also love - as a balm and a tonic, a means of escape. A desire for companionship and connection whilst being confronted by the most violent parts of humanity remains an unresolved tension. Written as she watched from afar the devastating effects of yet another climate disaster unfold in early 2025, Emma reflected on the roots of the systemic issues that filter directly into so many catastrophic global events, and made a conscious choice to reach towards making a hopeful record. Where outside forces tempted her to turn inwards, towards isolation and hopelessness, she instead reached outwards to create a record that acknowledges pain, but offers both community and resilience in response.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Errant Child","offers":[{"title":"LP - Transparent Green","offer_id":57458344132939,"sku":"R4129-4888","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":57458344165707,"sku":"R4129-7785","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57458344198475,"sku":"R4129-2828","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image_53.png?v=1779963550"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/emma-ruth-rundle.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
