Emilie Autumn at Triple Rock Social Club
Bundled in corsets and fairy wings, and topped by hair that’s a garish explosion of pinks and reds, Emilie Autumn’s eye-spanking appearance blurs the line between fantasy and nightmare. That’s true for her music, too, a self-described “Victoriandustrial” collision between Autumn’s classical violin training and her obsession with all things goth—punishing electronic beats, synth screeches, and lyrics about psychos, suicide, and the general sexiness of death—that’s made her a standout on the Saw III soundtrack, among other things. But it’s solo records like the 2009 book/concept album, The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls (which Autumn calls an “autobiographical thriller”) and the upcoming F.L.A.G. (Fight Like A Girl) that best capture her particular madness.
