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".
