I can’t say just how impressed I am with Empires new EP. I knew when Sean first showed me this song, Homewrecked, that it would cause a stir of goodness among the fans. I recall having chills and a huge smile and said “yup, that’s going to touch a lot of people in so many ways”.
This is my first time to sit and hear the finished version with good headphones on and it is blowing me away. Still. And I love that I read people tweeting and blogging about how much they love it, because not only was I totally right…but I was totally right! ;-)
Thank you. I needed this on my dash tonight.
#the drums are restrained #like they’re following sean’s voice #instead of leading it #very different for an empires song
EXACTLY ty yes ugh i was trying to think earlier of what it was but couldn’t put my finger on it, you’re right, the interaction there has got a really subtle rounded pointillism to it, reminds me of strangers in the best way
haha That is so much better than what I was saying. I just kept telling people the drums sounded sad.
and that is why you are my secret favorite
I love this entire conversation because it’s pretty much the one I had with myself upon hearing Homewrecked.
Accurate.
I fell hard and fast off the face of the earth, but I’ve just been really busy irl. I miss Empires, you guys. I’ve been going through my photos and I have some never-before-seen shots that I think I might put up in my shop. I’m sure touring is going to be expensive for them with gas prices so fucking high.
Kati, I owe you a Ryan print. I didn’t forget, March just sucked. Message me your address?
Everyone else, drop me a message and let me know how you’ve been.
