MUTE SWAN EMPIRE - black vinyl double LP 

Dutch singer-songwriter CHARLOTTE WESSELS releases her second full-length, full-band studio album with her band The Obsession. The album, called Mute Swan Empire, will be out on February 5, 2027, via Napalm Records. The record is a character-driven concept album in which each of its 15 tracks inhabits an archetype that emerges at the end of the Anthropocene, exploring how different people respond to climate breakdown, social injustice, and the collapse of familiar futures. Through these different characters, the album forms a fractured portrait of humanity, revealing the many ways we confront collapse - with denial, rage, faith, withdrawal, hope, vengeance, and everything in between. It arrives just in time for CHARLOTTE WESSELS’ first-ever headlining tour through Europe and the United Kingdom, kicking off on February 4, 2027.

Charlotte on the digital gift:
"If you order Mute Swan Empire on CD or vinyl through my webshop, there’s a little digital gift waiting for you. A song that didn't quite make it to the album, but has a story to tell. After your order, you will receive an email how to receive the track, and I'll tell you all about it."
