Emma Ruth Rundle Releases Sixth Album 'These Killing Times' on September 18

publication · 2026-09-17

Emma Ruth Rundle, the acclaimed songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, will release her sixth studio album, 'These Killing Times,' on September 18. The album is described as a reactive musical anthology, emotionally charged with an electrifying anti-patriarchal, angrily feminist impact. It maintains the tenderness and rawness of her previous albums, particularly 'Engine Of Hell' (2021), while embracing a resistant spirit. On this record, Rundle returns to a full band setup, resulting in more direct vocals complemented by a more powerful sound. The songs raise questions about our intentions and our role within society, with the looming grip of capitalism hovering over everything. A giveaway offers two LPs of the album exclusively to subscribers of the weekly kulturnews.letter. To enter, subscribers must provide their email address, full name, and complete address. The source also mentions other cultural news items, including a ticket giveaway for FilmFest Hamburg, and features on artists such as WASIA PROJECT, Lael Neale, Actress, Shygirl, and Paris Paloma, whose album 'The fatal Flaw' addresses AI in art and patriarchal systems.
