Irish indie rock/dream pop band Emperor of Ice Cream have shared their new single "I See You Everywhere".
The song is out today (September 23) via Fifa Records, and was mixed/produced by Graham Finn.
From the outside ‘I See You Everywhere’ is a vivacious, end of summer, indie pop song but it in fact deals with the extremely serious topic of Parental Alienation; the process through which a child becomes estranged from a parent as the result of being wrongly influenced or through psychological manipulation by the other parent, and current efforts in Ireland to have the laws pertaining to it changed. Whether executed wilfully, or unwittingly, Parental Alienation is heart-breaking, and can be akin to torture for the alienated parent, but also have detrimental effects on the innocent child if they are forced to suffer long term separation from all those who love them.
This song sees The Emperor’s sound continue to evolve, while maintaining their trade-mark basslines, raw and melodic guitars, topped by elegant, lush vocals and harmonies. The band bring in a fresher and raw sound as heard on their last single ‘Weather Vane’, letting the parts speak for themselves rather than enveloping the sound with pedals and production tricks.
