Another Sky – 'Fell In Love With The City'

The absolutely stunning Another Sky announce their debut album ‘I Slept On The Floor’ (August 7th) alongside new single ‘Fell in Love with the City’.

‘Fell in Love with the City’ is unusually upbeat for a band best known for their haunting brand of dark pop. To the steady beat of rhythmic drums and wrapped into soaring guitar lines, Catrin turns a break-up song on its head and into something beautiful as she talks about finding freedom and liberation (in leaving her old life behind) – "I hate breakup songs. I don't know why, it’s the most universal feeling. Maybe because the world has so many of them. Moving to London was a dramatic shift from small-town life where it didn’t even occur to me I could do music, where this vision of me as a housewife who never amounted to anything felt inescapable, in to a bigger world, of people from all over, of new ideas and a new version of myself.”

But of course, though undeniably more euphoric, ‘Fell in Love with the City’ stays true to their cinematic roots. Catrin’s instantly recognisable vocals and poetic lyricism that always, always, hit their mark leave no room for questions why Another Sky is a band that deserves endless amounts of praise and recognition.
