EMA is the solo performing moniker of guitarist/vocalist Erika M. Anderson, who shaped her experimental voice and guitar techniques in two well-regarded underground bands before setting off on her own. Anderson, who moved to Los Angeles from South Dakota when she was 18, played guitar with folk-noise outfit AMPS FOR CHRIST in the late '90s and early 2000s, then formed the psych-folk band GOWNS in 2004 with former MAE SHI member Ezra Buchla.
