Each time I listen to it, it gets better. It's not just me either. Lesa loves it, Brian liked the track I played for him, and I have been using it as my disc to play at The Elevens when I am doing sound and people always ask me about it (one woman went as far as writing down all the info from the disc). Yes, it's that good.
Click on the cover up there and sample some tracks and then buy a copy. You'll be glad you did.
"But, who are the Invisible Cities, pal?" you may ask me. Go ahead, ask me.
When I was first learning that it was possible to write your own songs, my friend, Herb Wang was the one who showed me how. We were in a band together, from eighth grade through college, called "The Shrugs"We played a total of three shows and recording something like 6 albums, all on four-track cassette. Herb wrote the bulk of the stuff and it was all great.
He's since moved to San Francisco and taken his original name, Han, back and has started this band, the Invisible Cities, with another great songwriter, Sadie.
All of the songs are good and there is a cool online radio thing so you can listen easily to them. If you are a fan of School for the Dead music, I recommend you start with my personal fave "Watertown" (also the name of the album) and then work your way through the record. I think upon listening to Watertown, you might see some evidence of Herb and I working together in the past.
Listen right here: Invisible Cities - Watertown. Enjoy.
