Emma Ruth Rundle recently announced her new album Marked For Death and shared its tremendous title track. Now the Red Sparrowes and Marriages member is back with a second single from the album, the darkly climactic rocker “Protection.” In a press release about the album, Rundle explains, “The subject matter is largely about being defeated and shrunken into the base human themes of love and loss. It’s a far cry from high art. It’s very much from the dirt.” And yet “Protection” is a truly soaring creative work, one you should check out below.
