This new record, hinted at when last years' ██│ innovative AT NIGHT was released, is an interconnected companion album ██│ with RIP acting as the prog-pop counterpoint to AT NIGHT's more ██│ experimental exploration. ██│ ██│ RIP will be released in early 2020 (Light Organ/Tooth and Nail/ ██│ Sinnbus). ██│ ██│ We Are The City spent two years crafting the sweeping RIP, an emotive ██│ prog-pop opus that is filled with anthems and intimate examinations of ██│ mortality. RIP was masterfully mixed by JUNO-winner Matty Green (The ██│ Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Paul McCartney) and Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat, ██│ Mounties). As evidenced in the title, RIP's thematic focus was inspired ██│ by a childhood friend who passed away during the sessions, and the guys ██│ aired their souls while collaboratively writing lyrics. They held ██│ nothing back: ôGod&Manö is a nakedly confessional exposΘ on past ██│ shames, and the aching title track ôR.I.Pö is a bittersweet reflection ██│ on a lost friendship which features an improvised one take vocal by ██│ McKenzie just days after learning about his friend's sudden death. ██│ ██│ ôWe went back to where it started (Kelowna), and that was pretty ██│ potent,ö reflects Andy. ôThere are a few times on the record where ██│ CayneÆs almost crying when he sings, and I just donÆt know if you could ██│ get that in a studio in the same way. It was really capturing an honest ██│ and true feeling of where weÆre at right now.ö ██│ ██│ Singer-keyboardist Cayne McKenzie, drummer Andrew Huculiak and ██│ guitarist David Menzel started We Are The City way back when they were ██│ teenagers, and in the decade-plus since then, theyÆve used the project ██│ as an outlet for their wildest creative whims. TheyÆve unveiled masked ██│ alter-egos (2011Æs High School EP), created an album with an ██│ accompanying Norwegian-language feature film (2013Æs Violent), and ██│ staged a live stream of their recording sessions (2015Æs Above Club). ██│ The newest film offering helmed again by Andy called, Ash received its ██│ World Premiere screening at the Vancouver International Film Fest just ██│ weeks ago. Though Ash isnÆt directly connected to RIP in the same vein ██│ Violent was, itÆs similarly unflinching in its examination of moral ██│ ambiguity and human failings. It was shot in British ColumbiaÆs ██│ Okanagan region during the devastating wildfires of 2017, and it ██│ features an original soundtrack from Cayne. ██ │▓█ │▓█ │██│ ██│ URL: http://we-are-the-city.bandcamp.com ██│ ██│     ██│        │██░  █▄     │██▓░        ▓███▄▄▄  ▐██▓     ░▓██▓ │▓█▀███▄▄▄░   ─────▐─────▐───▐─░▌───▄─────▐██▄──── ░▓████▀░ │█▀█▓▄▀▄▀▓▌█▀▓▄░  ─▄───│─────▌────▌─▐──▀▓▀───▐░▓▓███── ▓█▐▀▀▄▀▄ ▄ ░ ▌▐▌▀▓▓▀ ▀░ ▀▓▀──▌────▐─────▐─────────▐▓─────▐──  ▀ ▐▌▐ ▀▄▀▄▒░▓ ────▐─────├────▄█▌───────▄▌─────▐───  ░▒▄▀▄▀ ░ ▀▄▀▄ ─▄▄▄▌───▄▓▌───▐██▌──-███▄▌─────▐░───  ▄▀▄▀ ░ ▄ ▐▌▐▌ ███▓ ▐███░   ░▀▀▀▀  ▄▄▓▄▌  ▄   ▐▌▐▌ ▄ ▀▓▀ ▓▀▄▀       ▀▀▓  2 0 2 1    ▓ ▐███▓  ▀▓▀  ▀▄▀▄ ▀▓▀    ▐  ▓▓      ░▄
