EMA’s Past Life Martyred Saints has just been given Best New Music at Pitchfork Media! Super spacey, super 90s, super grunge – we are loving first album cut, ‘California’. Though for all the single’s wild edges, the album is surprisingly lush, full with muddy acoustic melodies and reckless vocals – whispered, screamed and spoken. It is Rough Trade’s Album of The Week in EU & will be released in Aus/NZ next Friday May 20. “Fuck you California, you made me boring,” – Yep, that’s how you start a song.
