Following the release of ‘Exile In The Outer Ring’ earlier this year, the folk singer-songwriter's new EP, 'Outtakes From Exile', is scheduled for release on February 2 via City Slang.
Today, Ema has shared the first track, MopTops (Twist While The World Stops), of which, she has said:
"I made this song two years ago with my friend Severiano Martinez who also worked on Amnesia Haze and Fire Water Air LSD. He does a lot of art stuff but is also edits video — my demo of this was much slower but he approached like an editor and chopped it all up and made it much faster. It was alchemy. The lyrics were improvised, I was thinking about the 50s and 60s living under the constant threat of nuclear war… People doing the twist in a red light nuclear fallout bomb blast, about the haircuts from then, “mop tops”. But now we have these two crazy world leaders with crazy hideous hair threatening to blow each other up!”
The release of the EP will coincide with EMA's tour dates supporting Depeche Mode early next year, which will be interspersed with headline European shows.
