SUMMARY:Acoustic Alchemy
DESCRIPTION:“Utter perfection.” – PopMatters\n  \nGreg Carmichael says\, “Well at least nobody could ever accuse us of releasing too much music! But I think our fans know by now that we’re a little obsessive about only releasing music when we have something ready that we really love.” There\, they released their latest EP\, The Empire of Lights\, in 2025. \nHere\, the four tracks on their latest release revisit familiar themes for longtime fans. Moreover\, they play a western shuffle on “8\,000 Miles” and inject reggae flavours into “Alisio”. Also\, they deliver upbeat joy on “Back to Back” and the laid-back groove of “Other People”. “We hope there’s something here for everyone\,” says Miles Gilderdale. “We’re very lucky that over the years we’ve found fans that just get what we’re doing\, so we can wear our influences on our sleeves and not have to try and fit into any one style.’ \nThe band has been recording and touring for over thirty-five years. However\, that spirit of never trying to fit in may help explain the band’s longevity. Here\, they just make music that they love. “I feel really grateful that we’ve been on such a long journey with our fans and they’re still there with us.” Greg says\, “We talk after shows and it’s always such an honor to hear the stories of how our music has been the soundtrack to so many people’s lives.” \nHere\, this EP starts a series of shorter musical releases that will eventually combine into a full album. Miles says\, ‘We know that these days people listen to our music in lots of different ways. But I think we all remember the thrill of bringing a new record home and listening from start to finish. So we try and make sure everything we release works in that way as well as on playlists.” \nRecommended for fans of Fourplay\, David Benoit\, Peter White and Larry Carlton.
