Emika – Drop the Other
Emika’s debut on Ninja Tune evokes comparison to the visionary likes of the XX, Fever Ray, the Knife, Burial and Circlesquare – artists that stand outside of genre, maintaining an uncanny timelessness of their own. As such, the words and sonics captured on ‘Drop The Other‘ prove both utterly catchy but experimental, erotic yet never overtly sexual, clearly confessional but shrouded in mystery.
It’s a sound and vision that parallels Emika’s roundabout entrée into becoming a performing artist, a musical journey spiraling from suburban London and inner-city Bristol to cutting-edge Berlin.
