Listen to Capital Cities’ newest track ‘Late to School’

Their music often marks personal shifts for me. Here’s to another adventurous decade ahead, maybe?

In time for the school year, American Indie Pop duo Capital Cities has released their latest track, ‘Late to School’ today. On the self-produced composition, Ryan Merchant (vocals, keyboard, guitar) and Sebu Simonian (vocals, keyboard) enchantingly sing about being tardy to school, making up the rules, and not wanting to be stuck in a system that keeps them from being spectacular. Knowing their background, or foundation, as catchy songwriters who wrote jingles, the song sounds like it was probably made for a young person’s cartoon series.

It’s been nearly five years since we covered any of the band members, but we’re back in full swing with support.

If you didn’t know, Capital Cities is the first post on this version of our website, dating back to 2011 when we had the awesome opportunity to spend time with the band and interview them before the release of their classic debut album, ‘In a Tidal Wave of Mystery’.
