Feb 26, 2013Emika's unique sound is eerily evocative of both Prague in the early 20th century and Bristol in the 24th century. Her deliberately dispassionate, sometimes replicant-like voice is often backed by a stark chorus of beats and her dark, distorted, minor key piano compositions that show off her Czech heritage and influences. An album that should make both Burial and Leoš Janáček proud.

Dec 8, 2011Be it the furious pounding bass of the dubstep angle she toys with, or the amorphous dark ambient she seems to wallow in, whatever led you to Emika's debut LP will also leave you breathless.
