With a premiere via our friends from Idioteq, Collapse Under The Empireare back with a single from new album The End of Something, which will be released in summer 2019 in line of the 10th anniversary of the duo.
The new single Abstracted is the second forerunner from the forthcoming album and it combines everything that Collapse Under The Empiredeveloped in the last 10 years. Vivid synthetic sounds with guitar walls and the very own signature sound of electronic post-rock sound.
Idioteq finds the new single "reveals itself as one of the most expansive C.U.T.E. has sounded in some time"... and we couldn't agree more!
The new album The End of Something will be released in summer 2019 in line of the 10th anniversary of the duo. Furthermore, a retrospective LP box set with the best from 10 years of Collapse and some rarities is planned as a strictly limited, numbered and signed triple vinyl box.
The band was founded in summer 2008 in Hamburg and released their debut album Systembreakdown in spring 2009. Since then, Collapse Under The Empire have released instrumental, experimental and very atmospheric music on seven studio albums, 3 EPs and various singles, covering musical styles from post-rock to ambient to ice-cold electronica with references toTalk Talk and Mogwai.
Since their second album Find A Place To Be Safe (2010), Collapse Under The Empire have established themselves internationally in the post-rock scene and made a name for themselves. Influential international magazines such as Rock Sound, Q-Magazine and Clash are always enthusiastic about the band's cinematic and independent sound. Since 2012 the band releases their music on their own label Finaltune Records.
