Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) - You Will Eventually Be Forgotten
Review by ישי לב
Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) has released a stunning and emotional album with You Will Eventually Be Forgotten. The album is a perfect blend of indie rock, emo, and post-rock, with the band's signature sound of intricate guitar work and heartfelt lyrics.
The album's opener, "Ribbon," sets the tone with its slow and melancholic guitar riff and introspective lyrics. The song builds slowly, adding layers of instrumentation and emotion until it reaches a climax that is both cathartic and heartbreaking.
Throughout the album, Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) explores themes of loss, regret, and nostalgia. The band's ability to convey these emotions through their music is impressive, and their lyrics are both poetic and relatable.
Songs like "A Keepsake" and "The Promise That Life Can Go on No Matter How Bad Our Losses" showcase the band's ability to create a dynamic and powerful sound while still maintaining a sense of intimacy and vulnerability.
The album's production is also worth noting, with a warm and organic sound that perfectly complements the band's style. The guitars are crisp and clear, and the drums have a natural, roomy sound that adds to the album's overall atmosphere.
