Capital Cities make some of the most fun and fresh electopop today.  We’ve featured the killer “Safe and Sound” in a couple of weekend mixes, but figured they deserved a bit more.  Two of their latest ventures have been covering Madonna and most recently Sinéad O’Connor.  From anyone else these tracks would fall flat as either trite or shtick, but Capital Cities resurrect the songs adding their own groove and personality.  Tracks like these show they don’t take themselves too seriously which allows them to create such a carefree sound perfect for any dance party.  Can’t wait to catch these guys live.
