SUPPORT FOR NEW SINGLE STONE MEN

“’Stone Men’ is a fantastic return from the Sydney act whose new album has quickly sprung to the top of my most anticipated releases of the year.”
Indie Shuffle (USA)

“Dappled Cities’ always-adventurous modus operandi, even after over a decade, remains excitedly enthralling, regardless of terrain.”
Rolling Stone Australia

Added to Spotify’s ‘This Week Sounds Like’ Playlist

After returning with their critically praised new single ‘Stone Men’ and announcing their fifth studio album ‘Five’ (stylised as |||||), Sydney’s statesmen of indie-rock, Dappled Cities, have just revealed news that their Sydney album launch will be taking place at City Recital Hall on Sunday June 4, as part of Vivid Sydney’s official program.

Combining their trademark layered soundscape with an immersive lighting spectacle, the event also titled ||||| will see the band re-imagining music from their highly acclaimed career and showcasing material from their stunning new record.

In collaboration with Sydney-based Studio Days and featuring works from Californian artist Paul Juno, the one-off concert event will feature imagery taken from the band’s rich visual history, accompanying the characteristic ethereal melodies and textures that have made Dappled Cities one of the most beloved indie bands to emerge from Sydney over the past two decades.

‘Stone Men’ has quickly climbed into the Top 20 Hype Machine Now charts and picked up early airplay from both triple j and double j. The accompanying video has also been well received garnering support via MTV and ABC’s Rage.

In the coming weeks, Dappled Cities will unveil some very special guests who will join them for all three East Coast capital shows, including the City Recital Hall event, Howler in Melbourne on Saturday May 6 and The Foundry in Brisbane on Friday May 12.

Vivid Sydney is the world’s largest festival of light, music and ideas. Now in its ninth year, the event is owned, managed and produced by Destination NSW, the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency.

Tickets to the upcoming album shows are on-sale now and available from www.dappledcities.com
