Album Review: EMA - The Future's Void

The Future’s Void is a stark, evocative journey.



As EMA, Erika M Anderson continues to push against the pricks (and all future boundaries that are placed around her) with her sophomore LP.  The Future's Void differs from her previous work because of a nebulous desire to fuck with form and convention, yet the line is (deliberately) indiscernible. So Blonde is an amble through acoustic grunge, something that underscores the banality and anger that Anderson holds for social constructs; the drone and auxiliary tribal beats of Neuromancer underline the equal emancipation and slavery that technology brings about. The Future's Void is a stark, evocative journey.
