Acclaimed Waterford band for The Hillgrove
O Emperor are in the Hillgrove Hotel in Dingle this Friday night..
BEO Binn presents O Emperor, with support from Blue Foot And The Sock Parade on Friday August 20 at the Hillgrove Dingle.
Acclaimed Waterford five piece O Emperor visit the venue as part of their hectic summer touring schedule, in the build up to the release of their highly anticipated debut album in October.
Taking their sonic cue from the like of Grizzly Bear, Mercury Rev, Midlake and Radiohead, O Emperor have spent the best part of a year writing and recording their first album in a cold country house. The band chose to undertake the project themselves, allowing ample room for tinkering with ideas, arrangements and a myriad of different instruments.
In doing so, they were constructing what was to become a multifaceted, thought-provoking record which is at once arresting but slightly unsettled. In the process of creating this, the band found a middle ground between experimentation and self-indulgence, giving rise to something that is unique and atypical, but still accessible.
