Sydney pop wizards Lime Cordiale have just been announced to join Electric Empire for their New South Wales shows on their upcoming Changin’ Tour.
Off the back of this year’s EP “Faceless Cat”, Northern Beaches boys Lime Cordiale have shared stages with The Specials on their sold out tour in April, as well as locals The Griswolds and Hey Geronimo!, and also earned themselves a spot at this year’s BigSound conference in Brisbane. Their songs that seem to span a wide range of genres, but it becomes apparent quite quickly that Lime Cordiale have created a distinct sound and strong style that belongs to them.
After wowing audiences at this year’s BigSound conference in Brisbane, Electric Empire are about to embark on a relentless tour schedule to support their forthcoming EP release ‘Changin’ (due for release October 26), heading to France and the UK this month, followed by an extensive run of Australian east coast dates.
Changin’ is the first new material since 2011’s single Yes I Will, which spearheaded a deluxe version of their breakthrough debut self titled album (which has sold in excess of 40 000 copies), Changin’ represents a mature new sound for the fully fledged four piece. Produced in conjunction with ARIA winner Jon Castle (Washington, The Bamboos), Changin’ builds on the soulful sound that has taken the world by storm and takes it a whole lot higher…
It’s an EP filled with heart, a collection of rich works which rise, and glow with dreamy touches. And of course there’s a whole lot of soul. “We’re opening our minds to mixing a bit of a fresher, wider sound. It’s 2012 and we’re making a record with all that history, but created with a modern feel.”
The promotional buzz behind Electric Empire is now well and truly humming towards that goal. British media outlets the BBC, The Sun, Music Week and Q Magazine are all turning their attention to Electric Empire. On the Continent, the likes of Radio Nova (France) and Rolling Stone Magazine have thrown their considerable support behind the group.
Having successfully made their mark around the world, including the UK (Royal Albert Hall, Glastonbury), France (Groundation support), Kazakhstan, and Japan, Electric Empire’s return to Australia sees the group with a new line up, new material and somewhat new sound.
