Empires are thrilled to announce their major label debut Orphan, out September 23 on Chop Shop/Island Records. Produced by John Congleton (St. Vincent, The Black Angels, Explosions in the Sky), Orphan is a collection of songs immersed in classic post punk and indie rock n’ roll circa 1989-1991, exploring the sonic adventures and emotional heft of artists such as Roxy Music, Wire, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
To get fans excited, the band has released the first single “Please Don’t Tell My Lover.” Check it out HERE.
Empires recently made their late night television debut on Late Show with David Letterman. Watch it HERE.
The band is currently on the road with Chain Gaing of 1974, are looking forward to playing this year’s Austin City Limits and plan to spend all of 2014/15 on the road. Pre-orders will be available starting August 19.
