Sea of Bright Lights

Adelaide's CITY RIOTS release their long-awaited debut album. 'Sea Of Bright Lights' was written and recorded in less than six months and marks a start of a new phase for the band. City Riots made their way to Melbourne, where they spent all of April recording at Red Door Sounds under the ears of PAUL 'WOODY' ANNISON (CHILDREN COLLIDE, HUNTING GROUNDS.

Album opener, "Turn" and "Catch The Sun" take their signature jangly guitar lines to a new level, whilst first single 'Wait For You' and track 'Take You There' deliver a dreamlike wave of reverb-drenched pop. Lead singer Ricky's idiosyncratic breathy and characteristically smooth vocals are ever-present and shine on tracks 'Closer' and 'Back To Normal' whereas tracks 'Sucker Punch' and 'Lonely Hearts' still maintain the elements of the hook laden indie pop sounds that they had established earlier on as a band.
