“It's a melodic, propulsive slice of perfection.”
– Rock Never Rusts “ʻThe Emperor's Songʼ is worth the wait. It's a synth-heavy, alt-pop song that is almost too catchy, as if that were an actual thing. It's sort of like taking your favorite 80's pop song and mixing it with the best of the mid 90's post grunge/power pop movement. This is just pure indie rock sunshine that is going to have you going back to ʻShiftʼ as you patiently wait to hear more from them, hopefully much sooner than later.” – If It's Too Loud “The hard rhythm guitar at the heart of ʻThe Emperor's Songʼ by Happy Little Clouds immediately evokes the bubblegum influenced end of 90s alt-rock, with tunes like Veruca Salt's ʻSeetherʼ springing immediately to mind, but this Boston-based band add their own sprinkling of pop on a great single. It's 90s core is counterbalanced by a wall of 80s synths which, thanks to a great production sounds, punch through the song's noisier elements with ease, and the accessible tones of the lead vocal owe more to an alternative pop/singer songwriter vibe, creating a brilliant melting pot of sound. With the aid of several oohs building an absolutely indelible hook throughout, this is certainly the kind of single that a broad audience will enjoy.” – Real Gone |
