Emma Ruth Rundle

Emma Ruth Rundle is an American singer whose concert at Gorilla in Manchester draws on the album These Killing Times, issued via Errant Child. The act's music sits within pop, rock and indie.

Emma Ruth Rundle is an American singer, born in 1983 in Los Angeles, who has worked in ambient music since 2008. The first album, Electric Guitar One, appeared in 2011. The 2021 album Engine of Hell came before These Killing Times, the record issued via Errant Child.

These Killing Times was made as a deliberately hopeful record, reaching outwards rather than retreating into isolation. It acknowledges pain while offering community and resilience, and it keeps the tenderness and vulnerability of the earlier work. It is a reactive collection, with a spirit of defiance and a charge of feminine rage. It questions the roles individuals and artists play, and closes by asking what people will live for beyond fear.

The music sits within pop, rock and indie, and the evening brings this American act to Gorilla, which hosts concerts and shows in Manchester.
