Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth comments on the necessity of the feminist voice in politics surrounding the recent imprisonment of Russian punk band Pussy Riot’s Nadezhda...

I recently discovered this amazing artist, Emika, who has released a full length on Ninja Tune in 2011. She samples her voice to create instrumentation that accompany her ingenious electronic compositions. Her compositions are well thought out, and seemingly non genre specific. Emika is a song writer’s songwriter; each track offers a unique atmosphere that navigates a range of moods.  Some songs are dance music and some are more ambient, but all are exceptionally interesting. Her substantive lyrical content adds to the intrigue, alluding to political issues and showing the world she’s got something to say. Here is a video interview she did with Minimum Wastage on her LP and philosophy on music. Watch Emika Interview Listen to Emika here...
