Sorry I Missed This: New (ish) Album from Dappled Cities

October 19, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Man, what’s wrong with me? I’ve been so swamped with US releases that I totally forgot to check in on Dappled Cities. Long ago when we were a fledgling site with big ambitions, the group played our very first SXSW Show, and we were grateful to have them. Apparently the group’s been working hard, just getting home after touring in support of their latest LP, Lake Air. I’m not sure how that slid under my radar, but better late than never, right? It’s an energetic pop tune, sincere and bright, just as I remembered the band years ago. Excuse me, I’m going to go immerse myself in this album. Do the same, won’t you?

SXSW Watchlist: Dappled Cities

February 18, 2009 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Dappled Cities hail from the Down Under, that being the case, they aren’t too well-known in these parts, which is entirely shameful. They’ve created an album full of lush arrangements, freckled with bit of pop-perfect melodies. Their sound is reminiscent of a lot of the early OOs indie bands, such as The Glands, crafting varying elements of sound and atmospherics beneath infectious moments of brilliance. You can tell the band has more great things to offer, especially if you check out their stop off on the Daytrotter.

The band will be playing at The Ranch (708 West 6th Street) on Thursday, March 19 at 8 PM.
