This was a late entry, very late, and I’m so glad it drifted quietly into view in the last moment before closing the books on this year’s 2018 list. Emma Ruth Rundle is the vocalist from Marriages which was featured on my list in 2015. She’s here in largely the same form although there’s a little more patience and maturity in the compositions. She seems to be more comfortable wandering in the verses giving a more personal touch to the lyrical narrative of each song. Emma has that elusive quality I’m always looking for in female vocalists, haunting, intoxicating warmth, understated and pure in delivery. That being said, whatever project she finds herself in, solo or otherwise, she always has a place on my list.
