San Cisco‘s storm came in much like a front approaching the port in their home town of Fremantle; swift and eerily beautiful. Initially whipped up in the wake of high school graduation, the momentum gained by the foursome of Jordi, Scarlett, Nick and Josh grew to take in multiple world tours, ARIA nominations (six to be exact), prestigious record deals, Hottest 100, Top 10s, Lollapalooza, Pukkelpop and a sold out North American tour. They unwittingly defined hipster culture with their Awkward video and then immediately subverted it as they covered Daft Punks global hit Get Lucky ; both of which sit on millions of YouTube views.
After a solid year of touring and festivals, San Cisco are now ready to deliver what we’ve all been waiting for, a sophomore album. Before handing over all of the goods, they’ve treated us to a taste of whats to come with the brand new track RUN . Receiving top notch reviews from fans and critics alike, RUN has a little bit of everything handclaps, a catchy bass line, an equally catchy chorus, disco inspirations and a fair whack of soul.
But thats not where this tasty musical snack ends; because what would be a new single without a killer video with a bucketload of lycra? Drawing inspiration from the lyric “I can be all that you want”, filmmaker and photographer extraordinaire Matt Sav, has delivered a uniquely wonderful visual version of the single.
It hasn’t all been unitards and disco though. The band have been working away in the studio with longtime producer Steve Schram to record the hotly anticipated album, confidently moving forward into a sound distinctly their own.
The yet to be titled sophomore album will be out through the bands own label, Island City Records, in early 2015.
