Offering (Capital Cities Remix) by Ernest Saint Laurent
Capital Cities just dropped a new remix of Ernest Saint Laurent’s mysterious character. The vocals are magnificent! We’re facing another amazing remix from these guys, as usual will be played everywhere. Great track! (via Golden Scissors)
Kangaroo Court (Shook Remix) by Capital Cities
The light side of Shook rears its head once again as he remixes pop duo Capital Cities’ "Kangaroo Court." We’ll have to concede we much prefer the darker side of Shook’s remixes, but his new remix is certainly worth it nevertheless.
Kangaroo Court by Capital Cities
LA-based duo, Capital Cities manages to single-handily turn the seasons with this new track "Kangaroo Court". Incredibly catchy and guaranteed to get you in the zone. (via Vibe To This)
Breathe (feat. Tupac Shakur) by Capital Cities
Captial Cities bringing Black Elvis back from the dead to their track and its sounding pretty good. It’s been a while since we’ve heard from our LA friends, Capital Cities. Their recent offering is this unlikely cover, featuring Tupac. This track further exemplifies these guys technical mastery in the studio, as well as their ability to put unique ideas into the universe.
Safe and Sound (DiscoTech Remix) by Capital Cities
One of my favorite songs from last year, from the criminally-overlooked band, Capital Cities, has officially been remixed. When I say officially remixed, I mean it was actually a project worked out between the DiscoTech and Capital Cities-official. Personally, I love it. It’s a little less hard-hitting and it doesn’t stray too greatly from the original. Instead it reinvents the instrumental around the vocals to make a more playful, light-hearted version of the song.

Holiday (Madonna Cover) by Capital Cities
Los Angeles-based electro-pop duo Capital Cities isn't afraid to let the Southern California sunshine seep into their music. Synth-tastically bright, danceable and catchy, yet maintaining a depth that reflects the band's roots in San Francisco, Paris and Armenia, it's loaded with appeal. Perhaps it's the vintage Juno-106 heard punching out across their self-titled debut EP, or the unique timbre of frontmen Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian's blended vocals. Either way, Capital Cities' songs are genuinely connecting with people.
Their debut EP has been embraced by tastemakers across the globe. "Safe and Sound" shot up to #2 on Hypem.com's popular chart and #1 on the radio in, of all places, Lima, Peru, where the band toured in November, 2011.
In 2008, Merchant and Simonian met by chance through Craigslist and formed a composing team. After writing hooks and jingles for numerous high-profile ad campaigns, they realized their musical chemistry was destined to create something more personal. In 2010, Capital Cities was officially born.
This time they borrow a Madonna original and cover it as their own. Adding the above mentioned elements they are known for that makes the song "Holiday" even more of what it is and making it seem like reality every time someone presses play.
