Meet Chicago’s indie/new wave outfit City States.

The four-piece have been around since 2008 and produce melodic art-pop in the vain of Sea & Cake and Depeche Mode.

Yesterday, they released two brand new singles yesterday, one of which is titled “Safety”. It’s a floating electro-journey complete with thumping synth bass and soft, nearly surf, guitar play. Listen to “Safety” below:

You can download both singles, “Safety” and “When And Where”, for free at Citystatesmusic.com/music. And be sure to catch City States when they perform at the Empty Bottle on Tuesday, January 18.
