Emma Ruth Rundle is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and visual artist, renowned for her blend of folk, post-rock, and dark, ethereal ambience. Born on October 10, 1983, Rundle embarked on her musical journey as a member of the Los Angeles-based post-rock band Red Sparowes. Seeking to express herself as a solo artist, she released her debut album, "Electric Guitar: One," in 2011, which marked the beginning of a deeply introspective and emotionally resonant solo career.

Rundle's work is characterized by introspective lyrics and a hauntingly atmospheric sound. With her subsequent albums, she has steadily carved out a niche for herself in the world of alternative music, exploring themes of personal struggle, existential angst, and emotional turmoil. Her 2021 release "Engine of Hell" starkly contrasts her previous body of work with its stripped-down, raw, and vulnerable compositions. The album garnered critical acclaim for its poignant storytelling and sparse instrumentation, a testament to her growth as an artist unafraid to delve into the depths of her own experience. Rundle continued to captivate audiences with her evocative live performances, as captured in her release "Engine of Hell Live at Roadburn," showcasing her ability to transform her intimate studio work into spellbinding live experiences. Emma's collaborations, including "May Our Chambers Be Full" alongside Thou, further demonstrate her versatility and ability to fuse her distinctive style with elements of sludge and metal, expanding her reach within the alternative music scene.
