That's Crystal Cities, as in the band from Sydney, Australia and not Crystal Castles, the experimental electronic band from Ontario.

Okay, so here's the run down.

Crystal Cities are an Empyrean rock band from Sydney, Australia and they put out a new song called ‘Good Life’ a little while back. The song oozes out into your two ear holes (note: you should only have two, any more and you should see a doctor immediately) with its soft, dreamy vocals, warm guitar riffs, and psychedelic instrumental textures that sound like you just stepped into a time machine and went back to the 1980's.

The recording process here was proper DIY, with the studio being more of a garage than a flashy recording studio, that is to say, it was a garage. But that method actually gives the song and the band's overall sound a rather homey feel to it.

Now, Crystal Cities have also been playing a handful of shows around the country and you can check out the remaining tour dates, and the new song, below:

11th November - Longplay, Melbourne

13th November - Whole Lotta Love Bar, Melbourne
