“O Emperor are a band who strip things back to the very essence of what they do, and focus on delivering classic songwriting, in the most accomplished manner possible.
The quality of the performance is staggering” – BBC
O Emperor emerged with debut long-player “Hither Thither” in 2010, a record of immense depth and far-reaching confidence, it was received with lavish praise from fans and critics alike it was one of ten shortlisted for the prestigious Choice Music Prize Irish Album of the Year. Since then, O Emperor who have a phenomenal reputation for their performances have shared the stage with the likes of Beck, MGMT, Spoon and Villagers, performed at a range of Festivals including SXSW, Benicassim, Electric Picnic and Longitude. A special arrangement of the song “Sedalia” was commissioned for performance with the RTE Concert Orchestra and received praise from Rolling Stone, NPR World Cafe, Artrocker, BBC 6, Hot Press, The Times and many more.
Their latest EP – ‘Lizard’ – is an entirely self-recorded affair coming about over the space of a week’s jamming at the band’s ‘Big Skin HQ’ in Cork City. The EP signals something of a loosening of belt-buckles and inhibitions. The reckless nature of the approach is audible throughout and the result is something truly bombastic – an unapologetic embrace of all that is garish and gaudy.
