To celebrate the release of City Riots’ first single from their forthcoming debut album, the four-piece are taking to the stage in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide this August/September as part of the ‘Wait For You’ Tour.
‘Wait For You’ poses a new sound from the Adelaide four-piece delving into dreamy, reverb drenched textures that they have hinted towards previously whilst still maintaining enough jangly guitar elements that they had established earlier as a band.
A lengthy summer escape to the family shack in the river land of South Australia evolved into the ideal setting for City Riots to pen almost forty new tracks. Fascinated with soundscapes created by layered and intertwining guitar sounds, an aesthetic began to emerge that proves City Riots have fallen on their feet, cementing the potential that they have always shown.
Shortly after, City Riots made their way to the more civilised surroundings of Melbourne, where they spent a month recording at Red Door Sounds under the ears of Paul ‘Woody’ Annison (Children Collide, Hunting Grounds).
First single ‘Wait For You’ is an apt introduction to an album that has been a long time coming for the South Australian outfit. The upcoming run of shows is the perfect place to wrap your ears around some of their new material.
“This track is lusciously international sounding with beautifully layered dream pop vocals and perfectly textured guitar moments. Definitely a band to keep your eye on.” – Tonedeaf
