We Are The City unveil new single Kiss Me, Honey!
"...a band for the long haul." - Drowned in Sound
"...billowing, headily inventive music…" - Clash
"...swirling psych, pristine chart-worthy hooks and dreamy atmospherics..." - The Line of Best Fit
We Are The City have unveiled their latest single Kiss Me, Honey, which is taken from their album Above Club. The album is due for release on November 13th via Sinnbus.
The track is the second to be aired from their upcoming album, but the first to be released from the mammoth recording session that saw the band literally lock themselves in the studio to eat, sleep and write their new material under the watchful gaze of a 24hr livefeed streamed directly from their website.
You can stream Kiss Me, Honey now from the band's Soundcloud page or by clicking below.
The track captures the impulsive and experimental approach the band took to recording the new album, combining Cayne McKenzie's floating falsetto vocals with Andrew Huculiak's relentless drums which perform fill after fill never seeming to settle, the entire three minutes of the track rattle past with an overarching sense of urgency.
The forthcoming album follows hot on the heels of the international release of their acclaimed sophomore LP, Violent, and its corresponding feature full-length film, which was written by the band, and filmed in Norway by Amazing Factory Productions. The film has garnered critical acclaim during its appearances on the film festival circuit over the past year, receiving a Perspective Canada Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014, screenings at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (world premiere), San Sebastían International Film Festival, Los Cabos Film Festival, as well as winning Best Canadian Film and Best BC Film at Vancouver International Film Festival.
The single Kiss Me, Honey is out November 6th, their album Above Club is out November 13th via Sinnbus.
