Instant Empire

Instant Empire hails from Denver, CO and has been chronicling the human condition in musical form since 2010. 2021 finds the band writing and recording a new album. Quarantined, exhausted by the dysfunctional state of the world and needing an outlet, the band’s latest batch of songs are a logical extension of their most recent LP, 2019’s Cathedrals. But it feels like the canvas has been broadened, and musically / thematically, the band continues to evolve. The new album will arrive on March 31, 2023. Instant Empire as a band often defies easy categorization, but over the last decade the band has continued to refine their own style of lyrical, lush and melodic indie rock. The one constant is a keen dedication to song-craft and writing emotionally resonate songs. Over the years the band has garnered comparisons to a number of indie rock’s finest, including: The National, Bright Eyes, The Hold Steady, Death Cab and Manchester Orchestra.
