"Following in the footsteps of party-on-the-stage bands such as Arcade Fire, Emanuel and the Fear, an 11-piece orchestral rock band hailing from Brooklyn, exist somewhere between Bright Eyes at their most layered, Elliott Smith at his most experimental, and a less wacky Polyphonic Spree." -
All Music Guide
Through intelligent and complex composition and a penchant for melodic pop, Emanuel and the Fear creates extravagant and climatic electro/orchestral arrangements which ebb and flow around honest and poetic lyrics. With influences that swing as far off as Beethoven, Rachmanicoff and Glass and all the way back to their peers such as Arcade Fire, Bright Eyes, Daft Punk, and Sufjan Stevens, Emanuel and the Fear exploits its relentless talent and eclectic adaptability in a culmination of epic and theatrical proportions with its new album.
Selling out some of NYC's most well-known venues, headlining several shows at North America's best music festivals, and gearing up for a full European tour in April, Emanuel and the Fear has gained critical acclaim from the likes of Flavorpill, NME, Fearless Music, RCRD LBL, The L Magazine
