Our Take

For their latest offering, EMPIRICAL takes us on a journey through the mythical land of Tabula Rasa, and let me tell you, it's a trip worth taking.

From the moment the album starts, you can feel the energy pulsating through your speakers, grabbing your attention and never letting go. The band's unique blend of jazz, funk, and electronic influences creates a sound that is both fresh and familiar, keeping you on your toes while also making you want to dance the night away.

Lead vocalist Sarah Smith's vocals are nothing short of mesmerizing, effortlessly gliding over the complex rhythms and melodies created by the rest of the band. Tracks like "Lost in Time" and "Dreamscape" showcase her range and versatility, solidifying her as one of the standout voices in the industry.

But what truly sets EMPIRICAL apart is their fearless experimentation. They're not afraid to take risks, incorporating unexpected elements like spoken word poetry and unconventional time signatures into their music. It's this willingness to push boundaries that makes Tabula Rasa such a captivating listen.

In conclusion, EMPIRICAL's Tabula Rasa is a triumph of creativity and vision, showcasing a band at the top of their game. So do yourself a favor and give this album a listen - you won't be disappointed.
