This Empty City and the heavy dark mysteries of "Just Enough"

 


"is this just like being in Los Angeles?'


Strident, chunky guitar, chopped at, potent shuffling drum beat, droning bass lines and beguiling dark vocals. That is, in a nutshell, "Just Enough" by Australia's This Empty City. The track has a subversive heaviness, full of mystery and danger too. Drawn with cool post punk meets 90's Americana Indie rock atmospheres, the kind of indie rock born out of late 70's proto punk and 80's new wave, intrigues while sweeping you up.

 From liner notes:

The birth of This Empty City is a testament to the unpredictable ways life unfolds. It's not about a grand plan or a meticulously crafted origin story. Instead, it's about the beauty of those fleeting moments that shape our lives without us even realizing it.
