Emma Ruth Rundle - What's In My Bag?

[@Albandbart]

She's so underrated. Listen to her music, folks. It's outstanding

[@IVomitOrgasms]

Underrated in what sense? She's a niche style of music, but certainly well liked amongst people in the scene. Shes been relevant since Red Sparowes. Her and Chelsea Wolfe have a wide branch of fans, tons of insanely popular metal, post rock, and doom bands follow and comment on their Instagram stuff. It's a rare feat to be a folksy female singer able to tour with some heavy ass metalheads. Shes only underrated if you're using the massive mainstream bands to compare her against. For a doom and gloom babe, shes definitely got all the praise and acknowledgment she deserves.

Her collaboration with Thou was incredible.

[@samcs06]

I have been listening to that album nonstop lately. Just really good music

[@athanasia7039]

Best album of the year

[@make.out.of.this.alive_]

I love both of them, but I would say this album is not outstanding. It’s just Thou being Thou and ERR being ERR.

[@ChanceFullerMusic]

Album of the Year

[@drdj2626]

yes, but Marriages is still her best ever work so far.

[@astonwinter]

She is fucking amazing, we need more people like her in the world

[@zensei999]

Instant like for mentioning Tim Hecker. No one else makes ambient music like this man. He creates places to live. Not just music!

[@justanotherbeanboy9038]

100% my favourite places to go on vacation

[@zensei999]

@klingt net Konoyo or the up and coming Anoyo? I loved Konoyo and liked the first single I heard off of Anoyo so, idk If I will agree with you. Either way I could see how going to a show for that sound could be pretty unnecessary.

[@zensei999]

@klingt net I think Konoyo is a good album but I probably wouldn't care to hear most of his work live in general. I see no need to stand in a crowd and listen to ambient music. I'd rather do something while having it on in the background.

[@kyletheenigma]

@klingt net I was disappointed by Konoyo too. I liked Love Streams and Virgins is a favorite of mine, but he basically peaked on Ravedeath, I think.

[@AlumarsX]

If you're a fan of ambient music, my go to is 1st Vows - Songs for Disappearing and all of the Blue Sky Black Death stuff, including their solo stuff, Televangel and Young God, Kaskets, 88 Ultra, PRFCT Storm etc.

[@JLJConglomeration]

I like how she takes her time to really explain her picks well. Dope episode!

[@strahljd]

Ghost in the Shell OST...Ms Rundle has impeccable taste!

[@chromesthesia]

I wonder if she likes Yoko Kanno

[@Gabriel-pz9ct]

I knew she likes metal but this totally got me, she can't be more awesome!

[@tudormiller8898]

Definitely! That album I need to purchase.

[@youcouldbelisteningtomusic442]

I feel like this is the LP I've seen in the most episodes of "What's In My Bag."

[@stevemuzak8526]

[@alvarolopezromero96]

What a beautiful human being. listening to her since The Nocturnes band. I love she´s getting the recognition she deserves.

[@luzzbuzz]

Yes to all of this. The Nocturnes are criminally underrated and unknown.

[@chrisshort4777]

I love her in-depth descriptions of each record, great picks too. I could hang out with her all day talking records. Thanks Emma & Amoeba!

[@djinsect]

I found two copies of The Nocturne's "Aokigahara" on vinyl at the Hollywood Amoeba (the Nocturnes is Emma's folkgaze band). They were cheap and I bought them both and sent one to a friend in Texas who also loves Emma's music. Marked for Death and Salome are two of my favorite albums, I hope she never stops making music.

[@AnUnhingedMind]

So, now that we have seen her collaborate with Thou, the world now needs a collaboration between Emma and Yob.

[@alc4117]

Her and Chelsea Wolfe should do an EP together

[@elyserice6581]

Good news!! They just released a song together called Anhedonia. Its really good

[@offmeds2nite]

@@elyserice6581 they are gonna tour in australia together

[@tomwalker5280]

This comment aged well. Their song is stunning

[@CrazyKoenie]

Emma should also collaborate with Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas should collaborate with Thou. Because to me that makes sense

[@RolandDeschain1]

The SUSPIRIA remake is an absolute masterpiece, and the soundtrack is sublime.

[@The_jerk_store]

Its fantastic

[@davidredshaw3774]

I have no idea who Emma Ruth Rundle is but I knew I had to watch this, now to listen to her music! Cheers amoeba!

[@TC-lk2ev]

Duuuude listen to Kitsune by Marriages, which she sings and plays guitar in. So effing good.

[@tomtucker1984]

Her album On Dark Horses was the album of last year for me.

[@TC-lk2ev]

@@tomtucker1984 Yeah it kicks ass. I absolutely love light song.

[@DonovanPresents]

I'm in the same boat with you. I especially want to hear her music because she has a lot of similar interests in music as myself!

Shes a YOB fan? Jesus I love this woman. That album was my favorite of the year as well

[@aarondiehl1904]

I saw her open for yob like five years ago.

[@roothik]

Yeah I love her too, now even more after finding that out.

[@arabe66]

The guy from yob did a cover of smashing pumpkins spaceboy, somehow I can't find it anywhere... Only with his acoustic guitar that was so awesome

[@jesseemullen]

This might be my favorite What's In My Bag ever. I've become a big fan of hers over the past few days, and it's really nice to see that she's so insightful about others work. It really provides a context to her own music and how her varied tastes have shaped it.

[@jonapello245]

This is exactly why I love Amoeba. Had never heard of Emma Ruth Rundle but she's got such sick taste that I went out and queued up some of her records to listen to. Stoked to hear by the genre tags I'm seeing. (She is also gorgeous.)

[@Psycho_Marianne]

"Smoke weed and hanging naked with your lover on a sunday album". That's insuperable!! Love ERR, her music, her musical taste... I mean Ghost In The Shell, YOB, Smashig Pumkpins... she's a beatiful human being ♥

I love Emma Ruth Rundle I still need to catch her live but there's so much power behind her music its incredible.

[@joannaa25]

great taste and very well spoken

[@SquareNoggin]

I KNEW IT! Straight up I just started listening to her music with the latest album and I fell in love with the music immediately but I also immediately thought "I'm hearing a lot of the essence of Emmylou Harris here" (which is high praise from me, Emmylou is a legend). And then their names are even kind of similar I was wondering to myself if there's some kind of connection there. Pretty satisfying to learn she's a fan, Wrecking Ball is one of my GOAT albums as well. The music consumingg public needs as many Emmylou Harris's and Emma Ruth Rundles as we can get. And wtf she covered "All My Tears" that's sick. But all her other picks are super solid, this woman knows what's up. Those chorus vocals from Ghost in the Shell sticks with anybody who hears it forever.

[@artlesscalamity]

I think this is the first and only WiMB where every single pick is perfect to my taste. Half of these I already love, the other half sound amazing. I only recently got into Emma’s music and now I understand more why I connect with it so well.

[@joeltherock]

I was already enchanted by Emma because of her music, but now I'm even more because of this video. She's amazing talking about music.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

She's awesome. Siamese Dream FTW! :-) Yes, the guitar playing is "crucial."

[@geoffbirchenall]

06:35 - Thats cuz it IS one of the best albums of ALL TIME!! And I agree with her opinion about 'Soma'...especially that 5 second mark just before the vocals come back into the mix. "...so let the sadness come agaaain...on that you ca-aaan depend on meeee yea..." ...fuckin love that song!! That was my fav song for the longest time. Nowadays I'm all about 'Mayonaise'.

nice to hear someone who thinks before speaks. great taste!

[@bronsonrichardquick]

This was on my things to watch later for a while. I haven't heard of Emma Ruth Rundle until now but her choice of tunes had me drawn in from the start. She talks about music like I talk about music too which is awesome. When she geeked out on Siamese Dream I seriously lost my shit and the way she described Billy Corgan I completely agree with. Time for a deep dive into Emma Ruth Rundle now and no doubt buying some of her stuff on vinyl too!

Joe Tumulty my dumb luck Kennedy played NY in Feb when I was in California for a few days for Warpaint’s 15th anniversary shows. Ironically I think I went to Amoeba the day she played Saint Vitus. Praying she plays around my parts again soon. Still crushed about never getting a chance to see TAUT. RIP Cash.
