Description:
If you've been following Empire! Empire! lately (or know who they evern are), they recently put out their entire discography up for free download. However, this is some new stuff from them (as well as Arrows who I'm sure no one here knows about) and it doesn't disappoint. This split sticks to Empire!'s original sound, except with each release - their production quality gets better. Empire! Empire! play melodramatic indie with a hint towards that midwestern emo sound making the overall vibe a meloncholy experience. Their name is also a mouthful to explain (which I can bet is completely meaningless), but I'm sure their is a reason behind it. Their overall song structure is fairly good: slow buildups in most songs, layered usually with heartfelt and passionate lyrics about loverlorn with twinkly guitars (man I cannot stop saying that term) grooving along. However, sometimes some of their songs can get a little boring and make you lose interest quickly; they sometimes tend to over compensate on their meloncholy buildups (which can kind of be seen as pretentious). ANYWAYS, check out their older shit if you haven't already gotten the chance to get into this band (you can get it fo' free here) and support them when they roll through.
