Anthony Retka, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Detroit's
Tone & Niche and The Mourning Voices, released his first solo CD since 2005.
The new album, Empire, is a collection of songs written
and performed by Retka, and features a stripped down sound and some of his
most personal lyrics to date.
"The songs are extremely personal. With Tone and Niche and The Mourning
Voices the songwriting tends to be more cryptic and abstract. Empire is more
direct and reflects some of the universal human struggles we all face in our
lives."
"A true singer/songwriter - he never stops
writing. One of the more poignant vocalists in Detroit. His easygoing acoustics cut to the heart, mingling with looped electrics full of yearning yarns and confessional ballads."
