Turn This On: Capital Cities

Capital Cities, a pop/electronic duo, from Los Angeles knows their way around a synthesizer. Check these guys out because you will be hearing their name a lot more come later this year.

I am not sure if I should lay out and let the airy, crazy beats take me over or get up and bust a move.
"Safe and Sound" is every corporation's indie pop hit that they can put on a commercial to seem cool. Don't hold it against them. But who else can say they feature Andre 3000 and NPR on the same track. The constant combination of synthy hooks and beats with horns is so peppy and funky. Just like Matt & Kim, I dare you to listen to these guys and feel sad.

Jump on their new record, In A Tidal Wave of Mystery. If you see them live consider yourself lucky to soak in these sounds.

Here is Safe and Sound
