What their label says...

VINYL VERSION OF ALBUM OUT NOW ON GSL CD: HAILING FROM GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN, CUT CITY UNVEIL THEIR DEBUT FULL-LENGTH ALBUM - A CONCISE, 9-SONG DECREE FROM A TRIO OF MUSICIANS EXPERIENCED IN MINING THE TERRITORY BETWEEN INFLUENCES OF YESTERYEAR AND THE MOMENTUM OF THE PRESENT. UPON COMPLETING SONGWRITING FOR THE ALBUM, THE GROUP VENTURED INTO THE STUDIO WITH PRODUCER/ARRANGER KRISTIAN ANTTILA - HIMSELF A RECOGNIZED RECORDING ARTIST IN THEIR NATIVE SWEDEN - AND COMMITTED THE 34 MINUTES COMPRISING EXIT DECADES TO TAPE. THE RESULTS SUGGEST A CONCENTRATED EFFORT TO TAP THEIR MORE AGGRESSIVE TENDENCIES WITHOUT SACRIFICING ANY OF THE MELODY NOR THE SOARING, EMOTIONAL SWELLS WHICH WERE SO APPEALING ON THE BAND'S FIRST EP. A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF FACTORY, FICTION AND ROUGH TRADE OUTPUT CIRCA 1980 IS OBVIOUS, COUPLED WITH A SHARP, ENGAGING SENSE OF IRONY, AND THE FABULOUSLY UNIQUE VOCALS OF MAX J. HANSSON. IN ALL, CUT CITY DELIVER A TIMELESS, INSTANTLY-MEMORABLE COLLECTION OF POSTPUNK CLASSICS!
