After their surprising debut demo (2007), The City?s Last Noise unveils their first album, leaving behind a short but intense musical path. In a mere two years, the band had time to share their need for new musical dimensions with their loyal many-colored audience, and to convince the music press about their promissing near-future (Mondosonoro, GoMag, Guitarra Total?). Having won the Samsung Rock & Call, GoBlind and Vicsona upcoming bands contests, they made their way to Barcelona?s indie scene.
With this three prizes and the help from the Blind Joes team (Blind Records), The City?s Last Noise is able to shape, in a shared production, the last two years of unstoppable creation in an album loaded with lyricism and emotion, led by a voice and guitar wich let no one cold up to today. Jeff Buckley, Villa Lobos, Police, Queen, Radiohead, Muse, Yes? They all hastily appear between the lines.
?Secret of an innocent?, their first and only record, gives off all the musical youth of this band of nostalgic post-teenagers. An endless stream of intertwined ideas, told in a mature enough way to make the old and the young curious the same. The secret is the metaphor of lost innocence, the main theme of the album?s single, Fifteen Autumns. Innocence is present in all of the other songs, and innocence is this band?s particular signature.
The project was born in a surprising way, as were it?s production and distribution. After a chain of favourable to the band events, several weeks after leaving the recording studio, they were granted the possibility to apear on the cover of GoMag, and release their album free in that issue, a few months before the official release date.
