Ones to Watch: Collapsing Cities - release debut single + live dates + on tour with Black Kids & White Lies
30/4/08
Collapsing Cities hail from Auckland, New Zealand where they’ve built a reputation with their brand of spiky indie post-punk guitar action.
The band’s debut single ‘Fear Of Opening My Mouth’ is a propulsive jaw-dropping proposition. The band marry post-punk sensibility with great pop hooks and ‘Fear Of…’ reveals itself over several listens and is the first step in establishing Collapsing Cities as one of the most exciting new bands around.
Sharp lyrics and sharp tunes is what you get with Collapsing Cities. The debut album Elixir Always is due later this year. Those that have heard it can testify that this will be one of the debuts of the year.
‘Fear Of Opening My Mouth’ is released on Way Out West Records, the label that first brought artists such as Late Of The Pier, Cajun Dance Party, Laura Marling and Jamie T to prominence.
Collapsing Cities will be over in the UK for the first time in May. They’ll be on the Levi’s One’s To Watch Tour with Late Of The Pier, as well as playing the Great Escape in Brighton.
