Editor's review
Hailing from the decidedly un-urban locale of Chapel Hill, N.C., these new Yep Roc signees do city-fy their sound with whispers of 'New York rock' vocals and clipping post-punk percussion. All that, though, is tempered by a spacious, alienated sound lying between post-rock and the '90s Brit stuff.
Biography
The Yep Roc Records debut of North Carolina's Cities has just been reimagined by Ladytron, Daedelus, Fog, and a host of other remixers who have tweaked the knobs to create a limited edition 8-song EP. The already danceable tracks are now dangerously seductive. Please beware. The Big Takeover called the Cities "America's next great rock hope," and their homegrown roots got Jane Magazine's chest pumping, saying, "It does my American heart proud... if you dig epic sounds like early-Radiohead, Interpol, and Sunny Day Real Estate, you'd best check them out." In addition to established electronic artists, one track was culled from a bevy of entrants in a Cities' remix contest. Look for this EP if you're a fan of Ladytron, Daedelus, Fog, electronic music, remix bandits, bedroom producers, and indie rock saviors.
