| Introduction | Welcome to the official blog of Empire State Human. Based in Dublin/Ireland, we formed in 1999. Members - Aidan Casserly (vocals), Seán Barron (programming, keyboards, electronic percussion & backing vocals) & Lar Kiernan (keyboards). We create contemporary song and instrumental based electronic music, with a retro-electro edge. Our music is a combination of analogue and digital synthesized sound, mixed with powerful rhythms and overlaid with strong pop vocal melodies. In 2004 we had a number one in the US iTunes dance charts with a cover of "Theme To Halloween". We've composed music for films and adverts and in 2008 our song "Liquid Blue" featured in the film "The Viva Voce Virus". We're the first Irish band to ever work with an original member of Kraftwerk (Wolfgang Flur). In August 2008 we appeared live @ Retrofest in Scotland. We've just finished our next studio album "Audio Gothic", which will be released in North America in November. European labels please contact us for licensing it in Europe. |
