It’s no understatement—we’re hooked on Imperial China’s latest, ‘Phosphenes’ which our friends over at Aural States championed with, “Phosphenes is a testament to Imperial China’s distinct sound, meticulously alloying innumerable flavors of rock and pop into something both fresh and familiar. . .overall the album is a confident, well-developed debut of a unique and vibrant voice in a somewhat stagnant scene. A sign of a fertile future for both artist and label, and if we’re lucky, one of the first major volleys in a bonafide new movement.
No faint praise there, hm?
The band is fresh off the road and ready to rally the locals this Friday night at Velvet Lounge and they’re bringing along Cephalopods, (including Hugh McElroy, Fiona Griffin, and Wells Bennett), Busses, and Lo Moda (from Baltimore).
Now, typically this is where I announce that we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away – and we do. But the band’s also tossed in the new ‘Phosphenes’ CD and your choice of one of the two tee shirts shown below in the: Mother of All Imperial China Giveaways.
You know you want to be there Friday night with the tee shirt on your back and the CD in your pocket. Let us know just how much the Mother of All Imperial China Giveaways would complete your weekend and the most over the top of you with your plea in the comments to this post—with contact email info!—takes it all home.
You’ve got til Friday (3/26) at 3PM!
