专辑简介

A five-piece indie rock band from Sydney,Their guitar-based songs typically combine melodies with the complex time signatures and tempo changes associated with post rock. Occasional falsetto vocals and the use of effects pedals are also characteristic of their sound.

After 2 years of ludicrously intense international touring and songwriting, Dappled Cities prepare for the release of their 3rd album, the art pop opus, Zounds. The work is the highest achievement of a ten year career traced back from their current home on US powerhouse label Dangerbird Records to the teenagers first playing music together in their Australian childhood suburbs. Zounds opening salvo 'Hold Your Back' is the most adventurous track of the band's career - a deep, brooding magnificent bastard anthem which is "barely even a song, more a collection of ideas." It's parting shot is 'Stepshadows', a Derricourt acoustic lament more akin to a n Ennio Morricone spaghetti western soundtrack than a conventional rock song. First single 'The Price' is a political song forged in a disco inferno while 'The Night is Young At Heart', at an epic six minutes, is the band's longest ever track.
