Some artists make much more sense in the live setting, take for example Erika M. Anderson’s ( EMA to you and I) album “ Past Life Martyred Saints.” Whilst showcasing her many talents as a songwriter it’s only when you see her perform the album live you realise how it singularly failed to covey this girls charisma and the visceral nature of the music. Her set at Liverpool’s Kazimier was nothing short of epic, throwing herself so completely into each song she almost became a woman possessed. Suddenly the album took on a whole new dimension, mixing [...]

We'd been playing EMA 's " Marked " on MOKB SIRIUS XMU Blog Radio since last summer , frustrating many of you that we could never make it available for free download. This year she was released out into the wide, wild interlands for you to finally, fully, enjoy. She's kept the content stream flowing deep in that time as well. This week, we finally have a video for that amazing track. Past Life Martyred Saints is available now through [...]
EMA By Russell Warfield September 14, 2011 As much as I’ve loved EMA ’s debut record over the last few months, I must admit to having had some worries about whether the album’s dank, crawling atmospherics would result in the live concert equivalent of being tossed off by a freezing cold fist. In the event though, I wasn’t stood with such a tense wince across my face as that , and that’s because EMA’s live performance necessarily translates through a lateral move into more of an [...]
goddamn procrastination... been a fan of gowns fr ages and i meant to batter out some words when erika m. anderson brought out the grey ship seven incher with this monstrous 16 minute b-side of robert johnson's kind-hearted woman... blooze, creaking and groaning and y'know elongated (with midsection existential howl) into forevereverandever. and then the album past life martyred saints appeared and yea verily it was all kinds of ace. bruised knuckles and bleeding knees. a grim sensuality to it. [...]
Erika M. Anderson aka EMA the former Gowns frontwoman performed her song (above) “ California ” off her debut album, Past Life Martyred Saints at the High Noon Saloon in Wisconsin where she began her tour with Zola Jesus. Both artist did a cover of " Crimson and Clover " together. They will be performing at this weekend's Pitchfork Festival in Chicago this weekend.
I am always late for everything and i take my time looking into the vast ocean of music. To effectively filter through endless posts of the blogosphere it makes sense to soak in it before you speak. Another day, another million artists being called the next big hype and EMA's first record, Past Life Martyred Saints , was one of the most blogged about names in 2011 thus far to slide into such a category. Erika M Anderson has learned well. [...]
Erika M. Anderson aka EMA is a South Dakotan with Viking blood. She claims lineage to Erik Bloodaxe , but prefers to wield an axe of a different sort. Thank goodness for that, because who wants to get decapitated at a rock show? All fun aside, the track, Milkman , is pretty bad ass. The video for Milkman is a little weird (but remember, we like weird), and may give those who grew up in the 802s flashbacks to the MTV of yesteryear. EMA is touring [...]
I don't know if I've talked about any artist more frequency than EMA in 2010/2011. Erika recently released her debut album, Past Life Martyred Saints , through Souterrain Transmissions. She's been touring with Kurt Vile and Scout Nibblet and is just about to start a run with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.. Check out her latest single and new video. ( thx! ) MP3 : EMA - Milkman [...]
It can be a bit of a cliché to talk about an artist or a musician or a writer putting themselves into their work – their emotions, their euphoria, their ugly side, ‘warts and all’ and all that. Quite often, someone’s personality can be an obstacle to engaging with whatever if it is that they’re producing; other times, it’s all there is – unbridled emotion obscuring a lack of real meaning. EMA - Past Life Martyred Saints The first thing that will [...]

Screw your Katy Perry's, your Cheryl Cole's and your Pippa Middleton's; Erika M. Anderson is a real woman. Dynamic, authoritative yet remarkably sensuous. Her debut solo record under the moniker EMA, summarizes all of those traits in a passionate and alluring style, drawing the listener in to her intoxicating world. Past Life Martyred Saints is the amalgamated remains of a both a shattered relationship and the splintered remnants of previous band Gowns. Album opener Grey Ship begins as a fragile, sincere ode, a Karen O inspired acoustic number, before it spirals messily out of control, into an intense [...]
EMA will release her debut LP, Past Life Martyred Saints , tomorrow through Souterrain Transmissions. She released another incredible track to persuade you not to miss out on it. " Milkman " is a seriously more beefy cut of fuzz rock than you've heard previous. MP3 : EMA - Milkman Previous: MP3 : EMA - The [...]
The story is an all too common one; girl meets boy, forms band, start dating, band breaks up, as does the relationship. This is very much the case with Californian singer Erika M. Anderson, who now goes under the abbreviated recording title EMA, after her previous musical outing Gowns 'self-destructed' last year, with only one album under their belts. However ex-boyfriend and former musical partner Ezra Buchla and herself have remained on good enough terms to work together on her debut solo release, Past Life Martyred Saints which is out on Monday. California is the most recent single [...]
