Reflections of Darkness - Music Magazine - Preview EMILIE AUTUMN

Emilie Autumn

Chosen by the American pop magazine “Interview” as one of the “14 Artists to Watch”, EMILIE AUTUMN convinces with her theatrical stage shows in a combination of erotic circus show and burlesque All-Girl band. As sole composer, singer and producer of her dramatic album ‘Opheliac’ she shows profoundly personal. In her self-created style ‘Victoriandustrial’ she blends naïve violin lesions with her soft spot for harsh industrial electro acts such as LAIBACH and FRONT 242, confronts the sublime melodies of DEPECHE MODE with the visual staginess of MOI DIX MOIS and Japanese Visual Kei.

With metal string violin and one time enticing, other times angry chant a world of Victorian madhouses infolds in which desperate outcries are allowed. Bad girl Emilie is dark and aggressive, frisky and sugar-sweet, but always “In Control”.
