Sister Cities – White Dress
I was recently sent on this fantastic track from Arizona up-and-comers Sister Cities by their manager Keith Walker (yep, he of the powerful dreams). Gotta say from the getgo I was completely smitten. Because while ‘White Dress’ is a stripped back affair it has the temperament and bolshie swagger to snag your affections completely. Sister Cities have an album’s worth of similar material pretty much ready to go and it sounds really good, it’s exciting to hear something vibrant and alive in a most stagnant of rock pools. Long after you’ve turned off your player that tight piano line and cool vocals will continue on their endless ricochet around your consciousness. KD
