Emma Ruth Rundle

The singer and guitarist for California post-rock/psych-metal outfit Marriages, a member of Isis-connected post-rockers Red Sparowes, and frontwoman for atmospheric psych-folk/slowcore collective Nocturnes, Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle issued a collection of ambient, experimental guitar compositions through bandcamp before releasing a proper solo album. The resulting Some Heavy Ocean, an evocative and cathartic set of Mazzy Star-meets-Swans space/post-folk-rock that was written and recorded at the home studio of Sargent House, the Echo Park-based indie label responsible for issuing Marriages' 2012 debut Kitsune, was released in May 2014.
