City Calm Down - Echoes in Blue

'Echoes In Blue' is the sophomore LP to come from Melbourne's City Calm Down. It is not concerned with answering questions. It is interested in the reality of being spread too thin, of being unable to shut out the noise. It's a massive step forward from 2015 debut LP 'In A Restless House,' which earned three million streams on Spotify and saw the band conquer Falls, Splendour, Sugar Mountain and other festivals. They even found time to reimagine Foals' "Spanish Sahara" for triple j's Like A Version, which has since racked up more than 330,000 views. City Calm Down have emerged with their most sweeping, universal material to date. And anchoring 'Echoes In Blue's epic pop drive is the band's accomplished songwriting, which catalogues the mounting anxieties of our age with an unflinching eye. As more and more of our daily lives get parcelled out to meet endless round-the-clock demands, City Calm Down meditate on what's being lost in that transaction - and why it matters.
