Pop Matters premiers new track ‘Paradise’
from Secret Cities!
“The bass is dewey. The harmonies are starlit. The theremin is ripe…The racket they’re able to muster together in the process is enough to set them apart from the pack.” PITCHFORK
“…a perfect balance of subdued and rousing moments…hypnotically affecting harmonies…” A.V. CLUB
“…it went round and round in my head for more than a few weeks, and kept me humming and hooked.” CARRIE BROWNSTEIN
“Magnificent…I’ve rarely heard an album that wields so many weapons…it’s almost arduous not to be won over… 4/5” TINY MIX TAPES
“…probably not too far off from what [Brian] Wilson’s been attempting for his entire career.” FADER
“…intimate and immediately likable…” STEREOGUM
“charmingly innocent and unconventionally beautiful.” TLOBF
“It’s that purity of heart and mind that Secret Cities possess, and it’s channelled to create beautiful chamber-pop that bursts with gorgeous melodies. MUSICOMH
