City Escapes debut EP "Avalanches" starts off with some ambient sounds which lead into the firs single "When the Vultures Start to Circle". What sets City Escape apart from their piers is there constant use of electronics through their songs. Their first single showcases this very well. All the songs on this EP are well structured blending ambient rock, catchy choruses, electronics and some hardcore elements. I am personally a great fan of bands utilising vocal layers which amount to great melodies and catchy hooks. The vocals are shared between their lead singer as well as their drummer and second guitarist. For a four piece this band sounds huge, this is assisted by the production done by Electric Sun Studios.


I am very interested to see where City Escape go from here, having constantly toured all year off the back of this release the boys have the stage show to match the sound they have on this cd. They are young, talented and are very good songwriters. The stand outs on this EP are lead single "The Vultures start to Circle" "Now the Hard Part" and "The Deeper Water". The CD has been released via Taperjean Records and is available nationally through any good CD store. A must have for any fan of ambient post hardcore.
