Los Angeles-based electro-pop duo Capital Cities isn't afraid to let the Southern California sunshine seep into their music. Synth-tastically bright, danceable and catchy, yet maintaining a depth that reflects the band's roots in San Francisco, Paris and Armenia, it's loaded with appeal. Perhaps it's the vintage Juno-106 heard punching out across their self-titled debut EP, or the unique timbre of frontmen Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian's blended vocals. Either way, Capital Cities' songs are genuinely connecting with people.
Performing in front of sellout crowds all over California, including hometown haunts The Troubadour and El Rey Theater, Capital Cities has a quickly growing fan base. TV personality Chelsea Handler recently selected their single "Safe and Sound" to be featured on her live comedy tour playlist. Perhaps more impressive is the duo's collaboration with one of their longtime musical heroes on their first release. They formed a relationship with Simon Mills (UK electronica group BENT) in 2010 that ultimately led to him producing their track "I Sold My Bed, But Not My Stereo."
"...a big sound that surely will not be rejected on the dance floor." - Richardine Bartee // Grunge Cake
"...a beautiful blend of spices that I love to marinade my ears in." - Chuck Ryan // Music That Isn't Bad
"I am convinced [Safe and Sound] will cure all ailments. Listen to this and you'll never feel sad again..." - Paige // forthelotharioinyou.blogspot.com
"Simonian controlled the audience with addictive beats that caused strangers to dance with each other. Merchant's vocals quickly stuck in your head. Everyone sang along throughout the night regardless if they were first-time listeners. Capital Cities' music proved to be extremely catchy as many continued to sing after the songs were over. The 45-minute setlist begged for more." - Jacob Gaitan // Campus Circle
