As you can tell if this isn't your first time reading this blog, I'm all over the place, and this post is no exception. Empty Houses is made up of Adam Mercer and David Mackinder of the band Fireworks and singer Ali Shea, and the band plays beautiful upbeat Motown inspired songs that you honestly can't dislike, and if you can just leave now.
The band teased a 5 song ep last year and are currently about to release their first full length record, Daydream, on Sargent House in June. The band released the first track "Falling Away" off the record and it's wonderful. Ali Shea's voice is so beautiful and could easily be mistaken for that of a 60's era pop group singer. The music is upbeat and impossible to sit still to. Accompanied with claps, a bubbly guitar line, and tambourine. Mercer tells Noisey that the song, "deals with the realization that what you're looking for may not actually be what you want." For a theme that is pretty heavy, the song delivers on such a light, fun note. I honestly can't wait for this record.
Empty Houses will be hitting the road in June with Good Old War.
Daydream comes out June 10 on Sargent House.
Stream "Falling Away" below.
