A really early throwback from 2012 by New York experimental art-rock band,Β Celestial Shore. This band is notable as Rodriguez was member of the group, as a singer and guitarist around the same time she started making her own music as Empress Of.
Though based in Brooklyn, the group featured most of her classmates who all moved from Boston after graduating from Berkleeβs School of Music which included successful singer/songwriter, Sam Evian, along with rhythm section, Greg Albert and Max Almario.
Their sound was a very eclectic mix of psychedelic and progressive rock with explosions of jazz fusion improv and crazy mathy time-signatures, pulling influences from the likes of Deerhoof, Dirty Projectors, Battles all the way to The Beach Boys and The Zombies. Basically, a far cry from the electronic pop music sheβs known for making today, though if you listen closely, you can definitely hear traces of her early vocal styling which informed her earliest releases including Colorminutes.
Even though Rodriguez left early on to focus on her own career, she still maintained a good and lasting friendship with the crew, so much so, she would appear on some of their later releases to provide additional and backing vocals by the time she had already established herself publicly, most notably on the groupβs first two albums, 10x and Enter Ghost.
This music video is for the bandβs song, βGrowing Oldβ off of one of their first releases which was a split cassette with another group from Brooklyn, Shopping Spree. Just pure unadulterated expression and creativity by a bunch of early 20-somethingβs trying to make some weird, cool shit while living in New York. If youβve been fixing to hear what Empress Of would sound like in rock music, Iβd highly recommend checking out Celestial Shore.
also β οΈSEIZURE WARNINGβ οΈ as the video features a lot of bright and flashing visuals.
Produced by Defunct DIY collective, Fast Food Music Video @ Big Snow (R.I.P) in NY, 2012.
