This
long-gestating debut by Emika, a UK-born singer and producer of Czech
origin currently residing in Berlin, is an intriguing work: dark,
seductive and as hard to pin down as its creator. Her atmospheric sound,
slow-burning and bass-heavy, owes a debt to Bristol, Emika's former
home, and the influence of Portishead can be heard in her crystalline
vocals, but it doesn't define her. Berlin has had an effect, too, and
the care with which she has programmed the sonic landscape of tracks
such as "Drop the Other" speaks of an immersion in that city's techno
scene. No bad thing...
