Brooklyn-based Emanuel and the Fear is a collective of musicians with backgrounds in contemporary classical, metal, jazz, and folk music, all who happen to play rock music. The Guardian has described them as �like Rachel�s wigging out to Zeppelin while in the background Steve Albini tickles Michael Nyman into submission . . . [with] enough orchestral synthesis to make ELO blush�. And Vice Magazine says �tons of acts play this kind of Indie-Pop-Classical mix, but Emanuel and the Fear do it better�.
