City Calm Down Announce New LP 'Echoes In Blue', Stream "Joan, I'm Disappearing"

Melbourne post-punk/alternative quartet City Calm Down have announced the release of their sophomore album titled 'Echoes In Blue'.

The follow-up to 2015's debut In A Restless House, will be out on April 6th via IOHYOU Records.

About the record, the band explain: "'Echoes In Blue' is not concerned with answering questions as much as it is with asking them. It is interested in the reality of being spread too thin, of being unable to shut out the noise, where we're told to buy a house, with a mountain of debt, and do what we love, to be passionate and driven, whilst also making enough time for our wife or husband, boyfriend or girlfriend, for our children, parents and friends. Has life ever been more exciting or more artificial? Why are we so connected yet feel so alone? Perhaps, in all this excitement, we forget to be bored and examine ourselves a little more closely. Or maybe we should just embrace the rage."

They have also shared the new single 'Joan, I'm Disappearing', which according to Jack Bourke "is about coming to terms with the dissolution of a long-term relationship and how neglect ultimately led to its breakdown."
