Emma Acs

Emma Acs’s new EP “While I Shoot From My Fortress of Delusions” marks a rupture. Both musically, in the way the songwriter have created her darkest and most experimental work yet, but also personally when you pay attention to the nature of the songs.

They arises from an end of a relationship, which seems to have released a manic strength in Emma.
It’s been a couple of years since Emma released her second album “Give In To Whatever”, and according to the Copenhagen singer what seems to be the long break from music was not really a break.

Opposite to the time between her debut album ‘Champagne’ 2011 and the 2015 album ‘Give In To Whatever’ where Acs was fighting crippling anxiety and depression, this break has been very exceptionally productive. She’s been working on side projects, musical experiments and composed a symphony for a 50 piece orchestra (‘Preyed Upon A Symphony’ 2017).

Emma tries to avoid the subject, and it seems like she doesn’t want to dive into the sadness and agression of her latest work, yet it’s obvious that this EP was written with a broken heart. It also seems that Acs’s musical references has changed from her earlier releases.
