The Invisible Cities - Regret

If Aimee Mann and Angie Hart were put into a blender and the result was able to be reconstituted into a living breathing human being, that person's voice would probably sound like lead vocalist, Sadie Contini's. Sadie's voice is both bold and intimate, emotive yet never shy, even in the louder, more rock orientated pieces the band has come up with over the years.

Sadie's just one part of the magic that are the Invisible Cities, long a corner stone of the indie pop scene from San Francisco. I was first introduced to them through the bonus tracks on Goh Nakamura's "Ulysses" album. They did a great cover of an earlier Goh track "At Ease" and their playful interpretation of it was what got me hooked.

It looks like a big year ahead in 2009 for the Invisible Cities, they're just about to wrap up and release their second studio album. Stay tuned for more updates about this vibrant indie band.

Check out their subdued and very heartfelt cover of New Order's "Regret".
