We Are the City 'Above Club' (album stream)

Published Nov 05, 2015

Last month, BC indie rockers We Are the City announced ambitious plans to live stream the making of their latest LP. Well, the process is complete and the band are ready to share Above Club in its entirety — and Exclaim! has got your first listen.Opening with a burst of eerie synth tones on "Take Your Picture with Me While You Still Can," the album navigates the listener through electro-infused pop-rock with cuts like "Heavy As a Brick" and "Keep on Dancing." It takes some twists with the oddball sounds and interesting rhythms on "Club Music" and the piano-driven-sway-turned-electronic-burble of "Cheque Room" before wrapping up with the triumphant synth-pop gem "Kiss Me, Honey." Above Club is out on November 13 via Boompa in Canada, and Tooth & Nail in the U.S. Give it an early listen right now in the player at the bottom of the page.You can pre-order the album here and also check out We Are the City's long list of tour dates below.Tour dates:11/05 Nashville, TN - Cannery Ballroom ^11/06 Carrborro, NC - Cat's Cradle ^11/07 Baltimore, MD - Soundstage ^11/08 Philadelphia, PA - TLA ^11/10 New York, NY - Gramercy Theatre ^11/12 Boston, MA - The Sinclair ^11/13 Pittsburgh, PA - Atlas Bar ^11/14 Pontiac, MI - Crofoot ^11/15 Chicago, IL - Metro ^11/17 Minneapolis, MN - Varsity Theatre ^11/18 Des Moines, IA - Wooly's ^11/20 Billings, MT - Pub Station ^11/21 Missoula, MT - Stage 112 ^11/22 Portland, OR - Hawthorne Theatre ^11/24 San Francisco, CA - Great American ^11/25 Los Angeles, CA - Troubadour ^11/27 San Diego, CA - The Irenic ^11/28 Pomona, CA - Glass House ^11/29 Tucson, AZ - Club Xs ^12/01 Dallas, TX - Trees ^12/02 Austin, TX - Mohawk ^12/03 Houston, TX - Warehouse Live ^12/04 New Orleans, LA - House of Blues ^12/05 Atlanta, GA - The Loft ^12/06 Orlando, FL - The Social ^12/31 Vancouver, BC - New Year's Eve Vancouver 201601/14 Amsterdam, NL -Sugar Factory01/15 Erfurt, DE - Franz Mehlhose01/16 Haldern, DE -Rock Im Saal01/18 London, UK - Birthdays01/19 Paris, FR - Le Pop Up Du Label01/20 Cologne, DE - Blue Shell01/21 Wiesbaden, DE - Schlachthof01/22 Freiburg, DE - Swamp01/23 Weyer, AT - Bertholdsaal01/24 Zurich, CH - Bar Rossi01/25 Italy – TBA01/26 Italy – TBA01/27 Rome, IT -Fanfulla01/29 Dreseden, DE - Beatpol01/30 Hamburg, DE - Molotow01/31 Berlin, DE - BI NUU^ with Copeland + Eisley
