about
Based in Wolverhampton, the unrelated duo of Rebecca Davies and Robin Davies are Young Empress. Combining synths, guitars, bass and other live instrumentation with modern technology, Young Empress opened their account with the strident single ‘Peacemaker’ in late 2020. Using the art of cinema as a prime influence, their sound found an audience within the Synthwave community. The haunting arpeggiated ‘Ghosts’ maintained the standard while ‘Christine’ entered darker territory in an ode to the John Carpenter film of the same name. The summer of 2021 saw Young Empress issue their best single yet in the ‘Dead Poets Society’ inspired dreamwave of ‘Eyes Closed’ as a trailer to their well-received debut long player ‘Lost Time’ on Aztec Records. But prior to the release of their first album, there was a collaboration with Zak Vortex on a moody synth laden cover of Fleetwood Mac’s embittered break-up anthem ‘Go Your Own Way’.
