Emperor of Ice Cream Drop "I See You Everywhere" Music Video


Irish indie rock/dream pop band Emperor of Ice Cream have dropped the video for their latest single "I See You Everywhere".

The song is part of our current playlist and came out last week (September 23) via Fifa Records.

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.

Emperor of Ice Cream Share New Single "I See You Everywhere"

The song is out today (September 23) via Fifa Records, and was mixed/produced by Graham Finn.

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.

Emperor of Ice Cream Drop New Single "Weather Vane"

Irish indie rock/dream pop band Emperor of Ice Cream have dropped the video for their new single "Weather Vane".

The song is out today (August 24) via Fifa Records, and was mixed/produced by Graham Finn, and  mastered by Tom Volpicelli (The Who, Iggy Pop, The Alarm, Pat Benatar, The Bloodhound Gang). Get it here.

With 'Weather Vane', the band captures the zeitgeist of this isolationist day in age, where social relations can be somewhat strained. Moods, motives and expectations can sometimes make us feel like we are caught up in a tornado of emotions when a relationship hits a rocky patch. This song is about the hope that remains even when things are falling apart.

Watch: Emperor of Ice Cream Unleash "High Rise, Low Rise" Music Video

Irish indie rock/dream pop band Emperor of Ice Cream have unleashed the video for their latest single "High Rise, Low Rise".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their 2020 debut album 'No Sound Ever Dies'. Get it here.

The video which was written and directed by Veronica Terreblanche and reimagined by Emperors frontman John Haggis will mark ‘No Sound Ever Dies’ first anniversary and the 2nd pressing of the album on vinyl and CD. 

Since Emperor of Ice Cream announced their return from a twenty-five-year hiatus in May 2020 and with the release of their long-awaited debut album last August, they have embarked on a chapter that very few, if any, expected would be written. As well as the release of acclaimed debut and due to the wide acclaim for the album and the associated singles the band have not only appeased their long-established cult following but have garnered a new legion of supporters around the globe, which in turn created a renewed demand for the bands back catalogue.
