Following two national tours and two albums as a solo artist, Reischel has re-imagined his sound, bringing together a taut ensemble of fine young musicians. Previously known as The Populists, over the past year, My Cousin, The Emperor has brought their self-described brand of “irony-free parlor music” to venues all over NYC.
Says Reischel about the album, “These are songs that I wanted to have a southern sound, but that I wrote mainly living in New York City. We were attempting to create a new genre: Country R&B.”
“My Cousin, the Emperor makes happily gnarly music; the band’s debut album, 'A Long Way from Home,' trades in rolling country rock & roll.”
- Time Out NY
“Reverb-heavy melancholy that is very comparable to songs from artists like Chris Isaak and Roy Orbison.”
- Brooklyn Rocks
“My Cousin, The Emperor’s debut album has southern written all over it… The guitars have a certain twang that gives you the sudden urge to hike up your cowboy boots, dust off your cowboy hat and button up your plaid shirt. It’s clearly a country album but with a hint of Blues, which is exactly what these Brooklyn-based young men are trying to create a blend of ‘Country R&B’.”
- Sinister Girlz
"Jason Reischel was humble before us, but clearly a gifted writer."
- Ben Krieger, Jezebel Music
