Product Information
Vermont-based 6-piece indiepop band that make upbeat and introspective tunes, tinged with vulnerability and optimism. They've long since left behind the label of being a »cute« or »twee« band since their debut album 15 years ago. City Rock Dove is instead an album of transition, ennui and nihilism; honing in on personal politics and gender queerness.
The album opens with the coming-out anthem Three States, Dana's very personal tale of change. His vocals for the song were recorded over 2 years during the course of his gender transition. Gender and sexuality are behind Cats for Cats, taking a gay dating app cliche (»masc. for masc.«) as the opening refrain. Infinity Pools is a homage to Spanish tontipop, and also inspired by Max's longstanding love of tropicália. Missy takes the lead on album closer Prince of Sweden, a love letter to Scandinavia. Max Andrucki, Missy Bly, Colin Clary, Dana Kaplan, Holly Chagnon, and David Zacharis switch up instruments, song-writing, and singing to create catchy, harmony-driven pop anthems and love songs – always brilliantly lyrical, and often brazenly political.
They're based in Burlington, Vermont and in New York City. City Rock Dove is their 6th studio album.
