Equipped with a full pack of cigarettes and an undying appreciation for techno, I prepared myself for this review under somewhat unconventional circumstances. No stranger to the unreasonable hours of the night and the sense of ambivalence it evokes, I found myself clocking in at over 52 hours of no sleep. Although substantially unhealthy, I eventually concluded that this strange but encompassing state of clairvoyance would be the perfect blank canvas upon which to communicate and express the underlying crux of Gesaffelstein’s Aleph.

Capital Cities, the indie pop duo from Los Angeles, released their long anticipated debut album In A Tidal Wave Of Mystery on Tuesday, June 4 on Capitol Records, in partnership with Lazy Hooks. This high energy album brings about one of the most unique sounds in the electro-pop genre. After listening to Kangaroo Court for a while myself, Capital Cities came to me as the perfect blend of the growing dance music scene, and the pop influences of commercial radio. With their surge into the scene, Capital Cities are bringing out their "Dancing With Strangers" tour back to Los Angeles this week, playing two sold-out shows at L.A.’s El Rey Theatre on June 6 and 7. Be sure to purchase the album out on iTunes NOW, and be sure to check out their tour dates for the month of June and beyond!
