Our Take

EMPIRE! EMPIRE! (I WAS A LONELY ESTATE) – What It Takes To Move Forward

In a world where every other band seems to be screaming for attention, EMPIRE! EMPIRE! (I WAS A LONELY ESTATE) quietly slip into our headphones with their latest offering, "What It Takes To Move Forward."

The duo from Michigan have crafted an album that feels like a warm hug on a cold day. With shimmering guitars, haunting vocals, and lyrics that hit you right in the feels, this record is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt lost or alone.

Tracks like "Year of the Rabbit" and "It's So Much Darker When a Light Goes Out Than It Would Have Been If It Had Never Shone" showcase the band's ability to capture the complexities of human emotion in a way that is both intimate and universal.

But don't be fooled by the title – this album is not a melancholy wallow in self-pity. Instead, it's a celebration of resilience and the strength it takes to keep moving forward, even when life throws its worst at you.

So grab your headphones, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let EMPIRE! EMPIRE! (I WAS A LONELY ESTATE) take you on a journey through the highs and lows of the human experience. Trust me, you won't regret it.
