‘Well at least nobody could ever accuse us of releasing too much music!’ quips Greg Carmichael on the release of their latest EP “The Empire of Lights”, ‘but I think our fans know by now that we’re a little obsessive about only releasing music when we have something ready that we really love.’
The four tracks on their latest release visit familiar themes for longtime fans, from the western shuffle of “8,000 Miles” to the reggae flavours of “Alisio”, the upbeat joy of “Back to Back” to the laid back groove of “Other People”. ‘We hope there’s something here for everyone,” says Miles Gilderdale, “we’re very lucky that over the years we’ve found fans that just get what we’re doing, so we can wear our influences on our sleeves and not have to try and fit into any one style.’
With over 35 years of recording and touring, the band’s longevity may be due in part to that spirit of never trying to fit in, but to just make music that they love, ‘I feel really grateful that we’ve been on such a long journey with our fans and they’re still there with us.’ Greg says, ‘We talk after shows and it’s always such an honor to hear the stories of how our music has been the soundtrack to so many people’s lives.’
This EP is the first of a series of shorter musical releases that will eventually combine into a full album.’ Miles says, ‘We know that these days people listen to our music in lots of different ways but I think we all remember the thrill of bringing a new record home and listening from start to finish, so we try and make sure everything we release works in that way as well as on playlists.’
The Empire of Lights will be released to all music platforms worldwide on June 13th 2025 and a limited run of CDs will be pressed to be available to purchase at live shows.
