Canadian indie/new wave/post punk five-piece Capitol have revealed full details of their highly-anticipated second album “Sounds Like a Place“. They have also shared a new track and video “Crooked Knees“.
Set to arrive on November 8th via Meritorio Records, this record has been in the works for quite some time, with the first recording taking place at Toronto’s Union Sound Company in the summer of 2022. Pre-order your copy here.
According to the press, Sounds Like a Place bears a mix of the industrial, electric hum of Capitol’s hometown of Hamilton and the shoegazey dream-pop that they’ve been leaning into since their debut single, 2017’s “English Girls”. This time heavily inspired by alternative indie artists of the 90s/00s and still tinged with a dash of 80s New Wave, the album weaves in and out of genre and decade.
Of the new single, Capitol said: “With Crooked Knees we wanted to blend levels of darkness and lightness, so we aimed to have these warm highs and dreary lows; both lyrically and instrumentally. And from these contrasts we also tried to challenge ourselves with the overall structure; rearranging verses and choruses atypically.”
