EMPORIUM release new single 'Gloomy Shadows' - November 6th 2015


Emporium have an eclectic collection of recordings and releases behind their back. Their music is kaleidoscopic and diverse, as they keep finding new ways to express themselves through a broad sonic palette.
Originally formed in Edinburgh but now London based, composer and producer Ewan McKenzie is finalizing a new Emporium mini album and working towards some live dates with a full band.
New single Gloomy Shadows is a very engaging track. On one hand, the title might suggest a dark and mellow mood, whereas the song is actually pretty cheerful and uplifting.
The melodies and tempo have a very 60s feel, with a slightly psychedelic pop twist. This song makes me think of The Beatles jamming with Tangerine Dream.
Emporium have once again managed to come up with a catchy track that still has depth in terms of arrangement and composition. (Peter Vidani)
'Gloomy Shadows' is released 6th November 2015 on Whimsical Records
