DEAD EMERSON RELEASES ENERGETIC ALTERNATIVE INDIE HIT “SUCKER PUNCH”
LA-based musician Dead Emerson shows off his DIY skills with fourth single “Sucker Punch”. Although a one-man-show, Dead Emerson creates a huge sound packed full of energy from the comfort of his LA bedroom studio. “Sucker Punch” is raw and powerful boasting a hard-hitting yet almost untouched sounding production, allowing Emerson’s emotive vocals to shine through. The new single is full of fast-paced frantic percussion, punkish guitar and shimmering synthesizers crafting a striking alt-rock sound.
About the song, Dead Emerson stated: “I felt like I was becoming a sim. My desire for independence in both friend and romantic relationships overtook my willingness to foster interdependence. And while I agree people in relationships should be autonomous, I can't help but wonder if I have taken that sentiment too far. Sometimes it feels like the only thing that could wake me up is if romance materialized out of thin air and, quite literally, socked me in the face.”
In just a short while with a handful of singles released, Dead Emerson has found himself featured on many Spotify editorial playlists including ‘New Noise’, ‘The New Alt’, ‘Indie Pop’, and ‘Fresh Finds’ accumulating close to a million streams. Dead Emerson is showing that he is an alternative force to be reckoned with, with “Sucker Punch” adding to his already fierce discography.
