    'This Is Not the Way I Wanted You to Find Out' is the debut of the long awaited solo project from Empire! Empire! front man, Keith Latinen. The title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that the EP was written and recorded in a little over a month in preparation for the band's first tour and will come out before the LP that was written and recorded over the past few years.

    Latinen plays every note and sings every word. Somber vocals stretch over beautiful and sparse guitar work and introspective drums. If you liked his previous bands, or his current one, Parting- you're going to love this. For fans of Death Cab for Cute, Jimmy Eat World, and Mineral.

    Comes with instant download, art may vary from mock.

lyrics

You have been out of my life
for longer now than when you were in it

The anniversary quietly slipped by
like the end of a low tide,
when water returns to nestle in the coastline

There were no processions, there were no speeches
I did not utter your name

I rarely think about you anymore

When we last met, we were barely speaking
Silence draped like a scarf around your neck-
loose, aloof, trying too hard to seem carefree

Your last words were never meant to be a parting gift,
but they ripped right through my chest,

"There are some things that cannot be repaired
When it breaks, it is broken for good
I know there is still love there, but
it hurts too much to bear"

I argued, I pled,
I did not choose my words carefully

I would have said anything to make you stay

But you looked at the sidewalk instead
and we sat with it

I think now I never really knew you
