Emma Ruth Rundle has announced a new EP Orpheus Looking Back, a small collection of unreleased songs from the Engine Of Hell sessions, her highly lauded 2021 album. Set for a March 25th release via Sargent House, these three bare and intimate performances are in keeping with the album's unadorned style. “Pump Organ Song” the first to be shared from the EP, was written spontaneously in the studio in response to her failing marriage and the availability of an old pump organ in the tracking room. Rundle Notes: “In the year that has come since recording the song, I feel more and more connected to this love song. It is still speaking to me about the process of parting ways and how romantic arrangements change and relationships close.”
Engine of Hell, released in November of 2021, is a stark, intimate and unflinching look at trauma and grief. The album, which saw acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, Stereogum, and more, focused on a return to the piano, an instrument she left behind in her early twenties. The Engine of Hell recording sessions took place in Stinson Beach in December 2020, with Sonny DePerri co-producing/engineering.
The reissue of Chelsea Wolfe ‘Apokalypsis’ is now available in Orange/White or Grey/Black vinyl. Ships around May 10, 2022. Only 1k of each variant worldwide. Available in her stores Hello Merch and Evil Greed (EU) along with new merch.

In the video for Alto Arc’s “Bordello”—the second single from the band’s self-titled debut EP, released last week—Isamaya Ffrench appears in a courtesan’s lair, draped in diaphanous silks and surrounded by candelabras like Mata Hari by way of David Lynch. Her co-star, George Clarke, sits to have his tarot read by Ffrench as she sings a ditty over a guitar’s folksy jig, before a glitchy beat erupts and Clarke launches into a demonic growl, his heart bleeding through the white linen of his ruffled shirt and a snake wrapping its way around his throat. It’s every bit as weird and wonderful a visual trip as you might expect from the celebrated makeup artist and creative director Ffrench, and Clarke too, who is best known for his work with the shoegaze-meets-black metal band Deafheaven.
Despite the sumptuously cinematic feel of the visuals that accompany their music, speaking to Ffrench in London and Clarke in New York over Zoom, they explain that Alto Arc came together as something of a pandemic project, almost entirely over the Internet. Indeed, Ffrench, Clarke, and their two other collaborators on the project—experimental pop producer Danny L Harle, perhaps best known for his associations with the PC Music collective and producing for the likes of Caroline Polachek and Charli XCX, and Trayer Tryon of the offbeat electronic pop band Hundred Waters—have never even been in the same room together.
