London rockers BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have released a video for their acoustic rendition of ‘Vertigo’, a track taken from their latest album Yugen, released on 25th May 2018 via Long Branch Records.
Vocalist/guitarist Paul Visser comments on the track:
“This is a song about admitting you’re scared of something and doing it anyway. We actually tried it as a full band arrangement but it never really clicked until we stripped everything out and it became a simple acoustic track.”
BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have a busy summer of live shows, including a tour with Ravenface and a one-off show supporting Skunk Anansie at London’s O2 Brixton Academy.
