Vinyl LP pressing. After the success of 2011's Past Life Martyred Saints and 2014's prophetic The Future's Void, Ema retreated to a basement in Portland, OR - a generic apartment complex in a non-trendy neighborhood, with beige carpeting and cheap slat blinds. Now, she returns, with a portrait of The Outer Ring: A pitch-black world of dark night highways, American flags hung over basement windows, jails and revival meetings and casinos and rage. In a year dominated by white working-class alienation and anger, Ema - a Midwesterner who never lost her thousand-yard stare - has delivered an album that renders Middle American poverty and resentment with frightening realism and deep empathy. 7 Years 4:07, Breathalyzer 6:21, I Wanna Destroy 3:07, Blood ; Chalk 3:17, Down ; Out 3:37, Fire Water Air LSD 3:48, Aryan Nation 2:53, 33 Nihilistic ; Female 3:26, Receive 3:19, Always Bleeds 5:20, Where the Darkness Began 1:53
