New Song: Combine the Victorious "Glasgow"

Combine the Victorious has just completed a new song for their upcoming third album.  This one was written by Isabelle Dunlop while she was back in Scotland last year.  They were joined by Marc Wild and Simon Hunt for the tracking of the song, and even managed to get them into the new video.

This video was shot at Imagined Aire Studio and edited by Mark R Henning over the past weekend.  A glimpse into the sound of their future release.

Combine the Victorious Vlog

Combine the Victorious has started a vlog explaining their upcoming release.  This post deals with the various remixes of their song "California".  Initially written in the summer of 2011 with good friend Ingrid Schroeder, the song has been remixed by a handful of talented producers and has led to the duo revisiting their song and making a brand new version.

Updates, News, Stories, jelly beans

There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes for everyone these days.  Currently Sex With Strangers is using the grey winter skies to find inspiration to write their fifth album!  Guilty About Girls is wood-shedding new songs (Jordy has revealed a couple very inspired hooks already) and Combine the Victorious is finalizing another batch of material that will eventually comprise their third release.  Robert Edmonds is as busy as always, last week revealing a few very haunting impressionistic self portrait type pieces.  Gilles Zolty is still hard at work back home in Saskatoon, but we are hopeful for a west coast appearance this spring!

Combine the Victorious also just re-released a song from their Disagreements EP - FKBC.  The video is below. 




This should be a busy year for everyone involved with Boutique Empire, and hopefully we shall add a few new people to our collective!
