Canadian three-piece We Are The City has been making whimsical waves in music for a while now, but its their latest album Above Club which really makes them a cut above the rest and is why they’re this week’s Artist of The Week.
The album is filled with crashing drum beats, quirky time signatures and unconventional melodies that you can’t help but play on repeat. Personal favourite and latest release, “Kiss Me, Honey” particularly shows off lead singer Cayne McKenzie’s incredible falsetto, David Menzel’s crashing guitars, and Andrew Huculiak’s rampaging drumming. A must listen for any Mew and Deerhoof fans.
Not only are We Are The City extremely talented musicians, but they are also accomplished directors, script writers, and film producers. The lads have even gone as far as making their own fantastic film Violent and also recorded their latest album with a 24-hour live feed streamed directly from their website—phew!
Having met at school in Canada, the boys quickly formed a band, recorded an album, and toured the country which resulted in them garnering a huge fan base in their home town. They have since gone on to hone their sound into something extremely special.
Above Club is out now via Sinnbus.
