Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) graphic novel

Isbjørn · 08-07-2014, 02:16 PM

Listen up, guys:

Some of you might have noticed that Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) is releasing a new album this month, named You Will Eventually Be Forgotten...

...but that's not all, because apparently they're releasing a graphic novel to go with it, named Ribbon. It will look like this...

...and it can be pre-ordered from Topshelf Records and Count Your Lucky Stars right now. Every chapter is based on a song from the album (so I expect a kind of depressing read). Is that cool or is it just cool? More information can be found here, along with a preview of one of the chapters.

Did Mae not do a similar thing with their album 'Everglow'
and Childish Gambino created a screenplay to go along with Because the Internet.

I found reading along to Gambino's screenplay whilst listening the album caused me to appreciate and enjoy the album more so I'm in support of projects such as these.

I'm supposing I won't be able to illegally download the book though unfortunately
