A Solemn Symphony

Minneapolis foursome City of Sound make music that's part Mars Volta, part Death From Above 1979, and all experimental madness, listing influences like Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, and The Beatles. Both their albums, L'Implosion and Creatures, can be heard in full on their Bandcamp page.

They'll be playing a show at Mill City Nights this Friday, which I plan to attend. Just heard about them recently, and am super excited to see them live for the first time.

I was hoping for a little more experimental and a little less 1970s, but they're good. Thanks.

Not sure where you're getting the "part Death From Above 1979" bit, way to get my hopes way, way up. Still ok, though.

Cool. They remind me a little of groove-focussed Detroit space rock outfit Oblisk, who I get the sense are also pretty good live.

I'll be in North Carolina that weekend, but I'm encouraging my family and friends to check them out.
