i love emma ruth rundle because her music is dark, heavy and soft all at the same time.

[@_Mike.85]

Cheryl Waters is like a modern day John Peel. KEXP is doing gods work, there is no other radio station like this right now, so so needed. Much love from the UK!

[@RandyXB9R]

I love how kind Cheryl's nature is and how it comes across in her interviews. She really honors music and by doing so, honors herself as well. Wonderful voice and abilities for radio. May there be many more years ahead for her, each one better and better! :)

[@DJJSerpico]

I have yet to see a performance on KEXP that I didn't like. Stellar music comes from this station. And Emma's set is no exception. Dark beauty. (And a great Alcest shirt. LOL)

[@maere6278]

I really miss the u of a station. They were great too

[@maere6278]

Cjsr!

[@veerchasm1]

John Peel…great analogy 👍🏻

[@falsejaguar]

Wow. It's like stoner metal that's ambient and mellow... yet sludgy and heavy... Excellent.

[@DeadLuckArchives]

The best I can paint it is like a Mark Maggori painting with sound. Its expansive and relays a lot of well defined feeling.

[@jinabrasser9439]

It’s why the album she did with Thou was the inevitable choice 🤘🏻😌🖤

[@marcosortega5915]

Stoner? DAMN, be careful

[@therealericjackdaniels]

This Album will forever be special to me. 10 months ago I posted something here about listening to it in KY where they recorded it. During that time I was in a very dark spot in my life. Not as dark as the one I'm in now. I was listening to this the last time I saw, and left behind, my sick mother. She passed away yesterday morning.

[@raphlenoble]

Her Alcest t-shirt

[@wesleybreard6562]

Saw her open for them a few years back!

[@LuizMGRamos]

it's so cool to see contemporary artists not caring that much for the looks and just wearing whatever actually represents their true self. makes the music sound even more authentic.

[@Rain_power]

Now we just need Alcest on KEXP.

[@thulierlaurent]

Why does she often wear Alcest t-shirts ? Any connections between them ? a tour ?

[@joegriffith2048]

I like the host's shirt much more.

Thank you!

🤘😎👍

[@jaasieljunior]

She is a Goddess

[@KlausDoitschlaaand]

True.

[@chriswise7978]

This is one of my favorite songs of all 45 years of time

[@writetovagelis1975]

what an atmosphere this band makes.

[@RK-gx5df]

Emma Ruth Rundle is so talented, this is a true musician. This is music to my soul!

[@simonwhite8836]

They are all excellent. I was having a "nobody makes good music any more" argument with a fellow wrinkly so poked around to see what's happening now and found these guys. There is always good music being made.

[@vergedrums]

Wow. I'm so glad I stumbled upon Emma Ruth Rundle. This music connects with my soul. Cathartic. Real. Churning. Calm within turbulence. Eminently powerful.

[@reubenalvear1975]

I could not have said it better myself!

[@caraj.6974]

She melts me...like she figured out how to extract all the sounds of my soul 🥲 I appreciate her so much! It's funny, I stumbled upon her so haphazardly. Before I found Chelsea Wolfe (who I was just blessed with seeing live in Boston! 🤘🏻🖤) between the two of them, we have two dark muses that share their beautiful vulnerability through their musical expressions. How lucky are we? ❤️ The drumming on Darkhorse has always mesmerized me. So cool to see/hear it live!

[@mattyates8501]

Love that she's rocking the Alcest shirt. Neige picked up one of her albums for What's in My Bag, too. Two of my favorite artists supporting each other

[@chriswise7978]

I wish I was that drummer He's fucking amazing

[@MichalBacaBastrzyk]

I love how they sound in this performance, it's so fantastic. The tone of guitars is just beautiful. Drums sounds so unique: snare, toms, cymbals... And her vocal touches my heart with every note and makes me fly away in my imagination. There is so much space between instruments and notes although they sound so amazingly heavy. Pure beauty !

[@whitemaggot4628]

I don't like how i barely hear the vocals in the first 3 songs but DAMN, i couldn't imagine Light Songe sounding better than it already was, this version knocks it out of the park !

[@Invisible_Difference]

I have NEVER made it through Darkhorse without crying my eyes out.

[@getsugar6411]

You rarely see a "most played" segment on a video at the start of a video. Means just about everyone who put this on didn't skip a thing and listened through the whole set. Just shows how fantastic this is, wow. Only recently discovered Emma after being a Wolfe fan for about a year now, such talent!

[@Arenow]

Darkhorse should be a classic. Such a powerful song.

[@viperswhip]

On the strength of this performance I went and checked out all the albums on youtube, including marriages and then ordered one of each CD off of Amazon, thanks!

[@FutureLeah]

I've never clicked a video so fast. Amazinggg.

[@vedasdenton]

Just turned on to ERR and find her scintillating lyrical intensity and musical brilliance moving beyond words. Simultaneously heart wrenching and inspiring. A gorgeous performance. Kudos.

[@Nightingale1887]

I don't know how, but KEXP always has the best artists, the best hosts and the best audio mix out there...and it's all recorded live. Amazing. Totally blows my mind.

[@motorpsychodelic]

True... I found Emma Ruth Rundle on a random youtube Video and I knew immediately that there will be a kexp gig from her as well. Its a perfect match.

[@AbstractMan23]

the backing vocals from 24:18 onwards are simply incredible - listen on headphones! wow.

[@karolw9466]

It somehow reminds me Monotheist album of Celtic Frost. Don't know how...

[@billgoodwin6680]

amazing session. For those that dig ERR and Chelsea Wolfe should also be listening to Katherine Shepard aka Sylvaine. Check out the live Paris session from 2019.

[@bencello]

Thanks, always like a recommendation. Also King Woman if you don't know her stuff. And Marriages, of course :)

[@billgoodwin6680]

@@bencello Celestial Blues my favorite album of 2021 and know all about Marriages -ERR is my favorite songwriter

[@bencello]

@@billgoodwin6680 Amazing, yes I can't blame you for those musical tastes! Do you know Evi Vine too? Her album Black Light White Dark was pretty awesome.

[@billgoodwin6680]

@@bencello cool -will check it out ---,,,cello player i see---just beginning myself, been a studio /performing bass player for many, many years and always wanted to learn cello...not getting any younger,lol

[@veerchasm1]

Outstanding band, sound engineering, camera work and ALWAYS Cheryl. If I forgot anyone pat yourself on the back, you’ve blessed a person who is no longer allowed to go to concerts

[@Quantum973]

I like all the songs here better than their album versions. Sure sign of excellent musicians! So cool!

[@joefarang]

the best station for live shows i've seen so far. sheryl waters is a totally cool, warm, knowing and respectful host. and she sits in the actual studio where they're playing. great. ERR .... fantastic set. as always

[@herettahuston9457]

Thank you KEXP for exposing me to this amazing artist

[@dagonluke]

I wish I could live in this video

[@therealericjackdaniels]

I’ve been playing the shit out of this album since I came to KY a month ago. Now I know why. It created energy in this place and I picked up on it. Thank you for touching my soul Emma.

I don't know about you, but it's almost certain that I'll like whatever artist Cheryl Waters is hosting... also KEXP is the best radio station on Earth.

[@Kapila]

Goddamn, I love Light Song.

[@ampman40]

I just went from 0 to 100. I didn't know about this person/band. Now I can't get enough. Wow!

[@axeljuengst]

Now you know

[@phlubblebubble]

Yeah Emma rules, doesn't she?

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

Emma is my favorite, this BAND is right on the money. ❤️

[@karmacore]

What i love about almost every live performance from Her that I see, you can really feel the and see the sadness in almost every note. I love this so much

[@chaoticfirearm]

Light Song sounds better on here than on the record. So good.

[@777p32]

I can't get over how good this sounds

[@kyleobergfell3040]

Darkhorse @5:46. 🏇🏇🏇 LOVE THIS!!!

[@jesseharville2349]

[@abel.lisman]

It´s beautiful to see how she really feels the music flowing

[@stephenkeri12]

They’re so original ❤

[@Markmywords803]

Just discovered her🔥So good and what a band too❤

[@ziak.3079]

Just discovered this band today, amazing sounding vocalist along with the guitar sounds..

[@gus23a]

I bet she would sound amazing, if you could actually hear her in the mix...

[@erger246]

Descobri ontem essa banda! Quanta beleza, em todos os aspectos sonoros. Numa noite após terminar um relacionamento e ouvir de surpresa Darkhorse foi um bálsamo. 🇧🇷

[@AnaLuBecker]

i like how the bassist is juuuust vibing to it

[@Normanvegien]

See you in Roadburn soon with Thou ❤

[@viciousbeauty]

I saw her open for MONO is San Francisco this year and she was EPIC, as was MONO. Glad to have discovered her via live performance. Always a nice treat to discover a band that way! Would love to see her live again!

[@en2847]

Such an incredibly talented group of musicians. Emma is an amazing artist and I feel at home with her music.

[@Pedaaal]

couldn't have put it better myself, love every note to pieces

[@christinamiller3363]

So fukn' Amazing....why am I scrolling through the comments instead of fully listening? Guess I just wish I was there with other humans soaking it all in... primordial heartbeat at it's finest.....💔

[@selgesel]

I've been listening to a few songs of hers for a while, especially The Distance, so I thought I'd listen to her other songs as well. Once I found out that she was constistently great I thought "man I wish she were featured in KEXP". Turns out she already was. How could KEXP miss her anyway

[@rayclardy]

I already loved Emma Ruth Rundle but seeing that she plays a black Fender baritone takes my appreciation to the next level.

[@theesweetscience2084]

Emma ruth really knows how to blow a mind ... everytime . Witchery and a gem all in 1 .pure soul to the core ...

[@TauntingGlaciers]

this vibe is just awesome! thanks for that, KEXP!
