Many Birthdays - Emptiness Is Forever (SR)

By Noah Mass • Nov 25th, 2008 • Category: Sound Reviews

I shouldn’t worry about the future. Obama is President, the world still turns, my cats are healthy. And yet I have a nagging feeling of anxiety; maybe it’s because the economy, as I write this, is entering one of those death spirals that promises to drag us all down to depths of hobo-like destitution the likes of which haven’t been seen outside of American Experience documentaries. Maybe that’s it. And so, given our strange contemporary combination of happy political developments and dark economic ones, we need a soundtrack that speaks to what’s ailing us - some audio pick-me-up for our new Great Depression.

And then along comes the latest Many Birthdays EP, Emptiness Is Forever and we’re almost there.



Video: Many Birthdays - “Rock It”

Many Birthday’s have finally released a follow up to their awesome 2006 EP, Days of Beat/ Days of Hollow, in the form of a limited edition EP called Emptiness is Forever. Cheery bunch, huh!? You might not get from the title, though, just how much fun and infectious Many Birthdays is, so they’ve put out this video for the song “Rock It” just to prove it to you. It’s a gritty, night club type pastiche that includes some live footage from the fine folks over at Switchburn.
