*Sounds like lofi piano with analog synths and grungey electronic textures. Weird Emika vocals, both lyrically and the way she edits them. *Edgy with feeling (not noise) *Experimental and reflective Futuristic shoegaze / Futuristic TripHop *Inspired by Record Store Day and the great experience releasing special projects in 2024 and 2025. Emika produced this album with RSD 2026 in mind. *‘For me it’s nice to have a time of year and RSD collective, to make an album for where I can approach things differently, with record shops and album-lovers in mind first (before streaming and playlists) and step outside of my Emika blueprints. Fans can collect a different side to my work this way’. - Emika *‘After having a chat with Jim Barr (from the band Portishead) about using studios more as spaces for improvising (not only to hire one to finish pre-written songs in) I saw it both as an invitation and challenge, to spend a week in his Bristol studio jamming around’. - Emika *Record pressed by Duophonic, Germany, coloured vinyl.
