Don't fear Emanuel and the Fear

Emanuel and the Fear are a collective comprised of eleven classically-trained musicians who have played and toured with the likes of Sufjan Stevens, The National, Akron/Family, and Bryan Scary & the Shredding Tears., and who, last month, released their debut self-titled EP in preparation for their debut LP, whose arrival date has yet to be announced. As you could expect from their background, the crowd of musicians does a remarkable job of presenting a melodic unified sound comprised of drums, bass, synthesizer, violin, guitar, flute, violin, cello, trombone, trumpet, and piano along with vocals in a sound that is certainly not classical. Below you'll find the lead off track for the EP, which is available now.
