Emika



My latest girl crush Emika's double A-side single Pretend/Professional Loving is quite possibly the most spookily beautiful offering of eerie electro in recent weeks.

 

 




 

The other track is just gorgeousness and equally as fearless and unique with so many influences evident from her classical training to her home town's Bristol stamp of techno dub vision. This is all merged with the multifarious Berlin scene where she also lives and records part of the time.




This atmospheric track has the Portishead downtempo of Count Backwards and ends with a quite lovely 'filmic' piano showing what an amazing new and diverse talent Emika is...lovelovelove. It is quite unusual for me to be undecided which track I prefer which I think must be a good thing. Listen and enjoy...
