You may have noticed there's a lot to discover at this year's Bimfest (Belgian Independent Music Festival). As the BIMFEST tradition want's it, there are also couple less obvious and therefore maybe a bit less well-known names on the bill. One of those names is undoubtedly the Swedish act Emmon, the solo project of Emma Nylén, founded already in 2001. Her debut album “The Art & The Evil” was released after a number self-released singles / EPs on Wonderland Records and was preceded by the “Wake Up Time” EP. Latert, a number of albums were released, which were especially successful in their home country, until a long break was taken after 2014. 2022 saw Emmon resurface, which was sharply highlighted by the new album “Recon” (Icons Creating Evil Art). Inn Sweden the album won the prize for "synth album of the year" (Manifest Awards) and "electro album of the year" (Gaffa Awards). This year the EP “Xception” (Icons Creating Evil Art) was released and was again very well received. Both releases (and a few more) will be presented to the Belgian public at Bimfest. Emmon is scheduled to play on Saturday 21 December at 21:40 just before top act and living legend Clock DVA. Musically, the long forgotten term electro clash is often used to characterize Emmon's electronic music. The sound is danceable, modern, with an EBM backbone but partly due to the feminine approach (sometimes read a more 'poppy feel') of Emma Nylén, Emmon transcends this genre.
