Lyrics

Everywhere I turn
There you are colliding with me
Fill you up to let you down
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Out on the water
we both run to ground
Feel the sun burning
Feel the breath of fire at your cheek
I threw you out
and run you round
I threw you out
just to chase you down
Out on the water
we both run to ground
I’ll steer on through
deepest ocean bound
Take a deep breath
In this salty grave
Help the numb embrace us
A deep breath
In this salty grave
help the numb embrace us
Out on the water
We both circle down
i’ll steer on through
Deepest ocean bound

ALT ROCK GROUP, CITY OF SOULS, RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM -

SYNÆSTHESIA

Auckland alt-rock outfit City Of Souls have dropped their mammoth 16 track debut album

The band has been teasing the album with the singles ‘Sleep’, ‘Water’, ‘Long Gone’, ‘Wolf’, ‘Ferryman’, ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’, ‘Shimmer’ and ‘Cruelty’. Now with therelease comes the brand new single ‘Whispers’.

A collaboration between City of Souls guitarists Trajan Schwencke and Marcus Powell,‘Whispers’ is a dramatic soundscape that depicts the memory of a friend who took her own
life.
SYNAESTHESIA has been an album five years in the making. Marcus Powell elaborates:  
“City of Souls have hit every single obstacle and block you can imagine. For us, this album is about endurance, passion, and a deep love for music.
“We have had these songs written and recorded with (producer) Forrester Savell for a long time but for whatever reason our timelines and plans kept changing. What I love is the solidarity and persistence within the City of Souls family has pushed through. No matter what happened with the cancelled tours, shows, album deals and record labels we, as a collective, have stayed strong and loyal,” Powell says.
“To say we are excited to release this album is an understatement,” Powell continues.
“I am so proud of the boys and the extended families for sticking this out and being here for each other. I am grateful for the support of the fans for carrying us through as well. I can not wait for everyone to hear and experience our journey to date. Thank you to City of Souls, the Street teams, the fans and everyone involved to bring this Taonga (treasure) to life!”

City of Souls have built a solid reputation as a live act to be reckoned with and developed astrong fanbase in New Zealand and across the world. With support locally including The Rock and Radio Hauraki, the band continue to push the envelope with their sound single by single, resulting in a solid collection of 16 tracks for the debut album. City Of Souls formed in August 2015 by guitarists Trajan Schwencke (Cold by Winter, In Dread Response) and Steve Boag (In Dread Response, Blacklistt). Vocalist Richie Simpson (New Way Home) found their existing tracks immediately captivating and joined the band. Guitarist Marcus Powell (founding member of multi-platinum bands Blindspott and
Blacklistt) then joined, and the line-up was complete with Daniel Insley on Bass (Solstate)and Drummer Corey Friedlander (In Dread Response / 8 Foot Sativa).

The City Of Souls sound is a true amalgamation of the members bringing something from each of their projects. Creating one of New Zealand’s heaviest and most loved rock bands.
