“It’s a fate we can’t escape. Someday we will all pass away.” - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

Though it’s likely you’ve already heard, Empire! Empire! made their entire discography available for free download last week [link]. From the oldest material and first EP to the newest splits with Arrow and Rika, it’s all available on their bandcamp for a whole $0.00 - but only until midnight Tuesday. High recommendations are hardly needed here, but are certainly given; the delicate, emotional power and beauty of Empire! Empire!’s music is difficult to match. A number of these releases, mainly the newer ones, are also physically available through the Count Your Lucky Stars store. So please, listen to the song posted above (off the 7” split with Rika), download the music, and, for the physical-inclined collector, maybe purchase a record or two [link].
