Power of Mind over Mind The esteemed electro/dance project Emmon saw the light of day in 2001, originally created as an art project during Emma's studies at art school while experimenting in the sound lab. With her explosive one-woman shows and engaging DJ-gigs, she quickly took her place front and centre of the electroclash genre at alternative stages in Sweden and entered the music industry by producing highly coveted remixes of famous Swedish acts such as The Knife, Melody Club & BWO. After several years of touring as part of the popular synth band Paris, her long-awaited and intensely hyped-up solo album ˜The Art and The Evil™ was released in 2007. Since then, Emmon has been crowned Sweden's electro queen, released 4 full-length albums and completed numerous tours, club and festival performances. Emma and her partner Jimmy Monell (The April Tears, producer of The Sounds debut album, Rein etc) paired up in 2010, producing Emmons latest albums together. Between 2014-2019, Emmon took a well-needed break to regain the drive and find the pleasure in creating music again, and her grand comeback as opener for Nitzer Ebb at Slaktkyrkan in 2019, was received with great enthusiasm. When the Covid pandemic suddenly struck EMMON had a tour all planned out and was one of the last to perform live in Stockholm in March 2020 just before the world closed down. However, the pandemic gave room to creating and recording the new album ˜RECON™, which will be released this autumn via Swedish boutique label Icons Creating Evil Art. Emmon tells us; ›The new songs have become harder and got a darker costume. Musically, I went back to my creative roots and to the sound of the 00's electroclash scene that Emmon was created and descends from. Mixed with progressive old school synth in a postmodern production that is primarily produced to be performed live.›
