This week I interview Anders Carpenter and Daniel Hildebrand of Evening Empire (who have since been issued a cease and desist and have changed their name to The Ocean in Films). They discuss the band's forthcoming album Cruel Vestige, out this fall. We will listen to a few teaser tracks and a playlist Anders compiled of musical influences.
