[@ehs35]

but actually same 😭 i was not prepared for this EP- how dare he
p.s. i love your hairstyle

[@snapdrag.n]

right??? since it came out I haven't been able to stop thinking about empire now. also thank you :)

[@aergiakin]

loved this!! like the other comment says, empire now is about ireland's fight for freedom and the effects of colonialism, a topic he looooves to explore in many of his songs haha :) ! have you listened to any of his other bonus tracks? if you enjoy his greek mythology references (i noticed you mentioned icarus haha) you should really check out swan upon leda - referencing the myth of zeus and leda! it's a really powerful song, and if you haven't heard it you should definitely check it out!! in his own words, this is what it is about (taken from the description of the official youtube video for the song):
"Egyptian journalist and author Mona Eltahawy once referred to the global systems that control and endanger women as the world's "oldest form of occupation."
Ever since hearing her speak in Dublin, I wanted to explore that thought in a piece.
I wrote Swan Upon Leda in Ireland a year ago and recorded it recently with producer Jenn Decilveo. We were tracking it in studio when the news came through of Roe v. Wade being overturned. I felt there was an opportunity to offer some show of solidarity.
We're reminded again by the protests in Iran that progressivism is a global movement. the recent pushbacks against civil liberties and human rights respect no boundaries or borders, and like all acts of control, violence and indeed all forms of occupation, their legacies can be immeasurable in both the personal and political spheres."
hope you have a great day!

I think sit in a barrel to ferment, Wildflower & Barley was my fave

[@snapdrag.n]

i didn't articulate it properly in the moment, but I meant sit in the barrel to become bitter as wine is bitter lol
