Emma Ruth Rundle – Electric Guitar: Two (Dowsing Voice) (Vinyl)
Electric Guitar: Two (Dowsing Voice) by Emma Ruth Rundle is a mostly instrumental, atmospheric album built on improvised electric guitar and extensive vocal experimentation, inspired by a 2020 trip to Wales.
Critics have described the music as a mythological soundscape, a soundtrack to an unseen film, or a "pilgrimage to and through the Otherworld," noting its dark, mysterious, and experimental nature. The album is praised for its unique use of vocals, which include not just singing but also breathy barks, sighs, and made-up languages, as well as its powerful and intricate guitar work.
Vinyl LP.
