Speedy Ortiz premiered “Emma O”, the third track from their recently announced Foiled Again EP, with Zane Lowe’s World First Exclusive on Apple Music today.
“’Emma O’ is the name of the Japanese Buddhist overlord of hell who judges souls” says frontwoman Sadie Dupuis. “It’s about spending uncomfortable, quiet hours with someone you still love but shouldn’t. I wrote it at a farmhouse in upstate
New York years ago.”
Foiled Again is a digital-only release. Pre-order a copy of the EP today via Carpark Records and iTunes. The first two singles “Death Note” and “Puffer feat. Lizzo (Lazerbeak Remix)” are also streaming now.
The band heads out on the second leg of their North American tour next week with The Good Life.
