MP3 At 3PM: Royal City

royal-city344bRoyal City’s 2001 sophomore album Alone At The Microphone has been deemed a Lost Classic (by us; read all about it), and for good reason. This overlooked Canadian four-piece managed to release three solid albums of wistful, Biblical indie folk in just a few short years. Though the band might have broken up in 2004, the Asthmatic Kitty label is putting out an eponymous, career-spanning b-sides/ rarities retrospective this summer. “Fill Your Belly Up With Wine” is just a taste of Royal City’s melancholy charms, and it will make you miss a band you’ve only just discovered.
