O Emperor have been busy. Currently, they are both recording their second album and planning the European release of their first album, Hither Thither on K&F Records. Further to that, they are preparing for three very special shows to wrap up a successful 2011. Yikes! The band saw these shows as an opportunity to premiere (and develop) a large proportion of ever-evolving new material and give a taste of what’s to be expected from their next album.

The band have always worked collaboratively, usually in the form of all five members working on a shell of an idea brought forward by one member. This process has since become even more collaborative at its core, with many of the new songs coming about as a result of extended jamming sessions that would have started out with no direction whatsoever. The lack of pressure from outside sources made it feel ok to sit in a room and make strange noises for extended periods of time, unaware and unaffected as to whether a tangible result would present itself. They enjoyed this new, organic and at times haphazard approach – it being a break from their usual tendency toward general meticulousness -and further applied it to the recording process itself. Around this time, they had particularly come to admire the approach and aesthetic of pioneering Krautrock acts from the early 70s and a number of art-rock albums from the 80s, which may give some indication as to the source of this shift in working practice.
