Empress - where have you been? Following lots of gorgeous records on 555, Geographic, Pehr and our very own Jonathon Whiskey - the latter dust laden,  they went quiet , well quieter. But fear not here they are back with a brand new 4 song 7" on Misplaced Music of Pudsey near Leeds. Its an excellent return. Their music is simply wonderful. A quiet pastoral drift with bits of guitar, piano, electronics and lovely lady vocals. They never resort to cliche, they always sound like themselves, they always move on nicely between releases. Fans of Low, Cat Power and the quiet end of The Pastels might be interested. Anyway Tea For Two is limited to 500, handmade and comes with a free Misplaced Music fanzine (while stocks last).

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Empress are one of the most fragile, heart wrenching bands to have emerged from Leeds… well… ever. They made a series of fine LPs and 7"s on 555 a few years back (which often got them compared to Low) but following an album on Stephen Pastel's Geographic imprint the band has laid low. What is certain now though is that their new songs or the equal and quite possibly the better of anything they've done before.
