Release Notes:
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 (also home of
Silversun Pickups) to the teenagers first playing
music together in their Australian childhood
suburbs. Under the expert A&R guidance of Justin
Meldal-Johnsen (music director and bassist for Beck,
Ladytron and Nine Inch Nails) and respected American
co-producer Chris Coady (TV on the Radio), Dappled
Cities got busy making mayhem and magic. 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.
