Canada has always been good to us when it comes to musical exports, and the latest for you to fall in love with comes in the form of We Are The City. Hear the UK premiere of new single 'Friends Hurt' below.
With a wide-eyed ambition and a dreamy sonic palette, they call to mind the escapist sounds of Mew and Flaming Lips. They've a towering, enveloping sound and inclusive lyrical approach - no wonder they've won so many hearts back home. We daresay the UK is next.
A bubbling synth-pop number, 'Friends Hurt' carries the aching tenderness of Antlers and Bright Eyes, but builds it into an inescapably infectious and arresting wall of sound. We're a little bit in love.
