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.

'Gloomy
Shadows' is released 6th
November 2015 on Whimsical Records
