Pitchfork has featured the striking and inventive EMA in their guide to 2014’s spring album releases with a quick review The Future’s Void, which NPR is now streaming.

I’m like, ‘Can I say this? Are people going to think this is really fucking lame?’ But if you feel like you’re not supposed to do something, that just means you’re bumping up against a rule. And if you never examine the rules, then what’s the point?”
