REVIEW: @emchy.bsky.social has never sounded more confident in their gothic honky-tonk than on Queen of Assholes -- an album that celebrates charting your own course.

A middle-aged woman with a shock of red hair leans against the doorway of a tin shack. She wears a black corset and dress and has her hands on her hips. The shack is filled with bric a brac like baby dolls.

A man with flowing brown hair and aviator glasses sits in a chair, facing the camera. He has his chin propped on his fist. He wears a black t-shirt. The head of an acoustic guitar is visible at the bottom of the frame. The backdrop is a beige cinder block wall.

Tfw a conversation changes your whole perspective, your whole direction? I wrote a song about it… it was a ten hour drive, it was an adventure full of desert, tattoos, enchiladas, and so so much howling at the moon ♥️ use your clicky finger to stream, share, watch, or buy it here ffm.to/sescatalyst

In this music video premiere, @emchy.bsky.social warn of "Bears in the Parking Lot"...but probably not the kind you're thinking of.

A red-headed woman in a black dress with straps plays a guitar. She has tattoos along her arms and shoulders. She stands against a bedazzled backdrop that looks like a starburst, making it look as if she has a halo of light around her.

@emchy.bsky.social has never sounded better in their gothic tale of desire and isolation

A white red-haired woman plays an acoustic guitar. She is in a Victorian-esque room with elaborate wallpaper, mirrors, and a chandelier. She wears sleeveless a black dress, a purple bandana, and has floral tattoos down her arm.

Sometimes I need the first cup of coffee to wake up enough to enjoy the second cup of coffee
Black coffee cup with gothic lettering saying “damn good coffee” in a living room full of books, a hardwood floor, and lit from a glass door leading to a rainy back porch.
