For musical artists, it might probably begin to really feel like a relentless sport of tug-of-war between the way you wish to current your self and the way different individuals wish to curb you to suit their mould. Empty Isles began making music underneath a special title and underneath a label that wasn’t fairly the appropriate match. However typically the squeeze of a unsuitable state of affairs can present you precisely who you actually are and what you wish to be, and for Nashville-based singer, songwriter and producer Zach Lardy, it grew to become strikingly clear that he needed to be doing his personal factor and maybe nowhere is that this clearer than on new single “Arduous To Cope.”

“I’ve molded musically, achieved no matter I’ve to do to search out my manner,” Lardy says. “Doing my very own factor compelled me to be sufficient in a number of totally different areas. I compelled myself to do what I wanted to do to at all times say ‘sure’ to a gig. However even with manufacturing, I don’t really feel fully fulfilled creatively, there was at all times a aspect of me that needed to do my very own factor. Empty Isles was the place I needed to spend my time.” 

“Arduous to Cope” – his first single off the upcoming debut EP – tackles the various difficulties of the final two years, zeroing in on Lardy’s personal struggles with relationships, diseases, and clinging on to what consistency he might discover. Producer Chase Webber joined in, serving to form the brand new track and main Lardy to new floor musically. Having set himself a problem/mission led by the query: ‘What would Bon Iver sound like if he made a pop track?’, “Arduous to Cope” is his reply.
