Jordan Wright, pianist and lead singer of indie-rock band City of Sound, came up with the idea for his group 7 years ago. Seeing that the world was turning into a more divided place, he was enthused by the idea that music could be the thing to bring people together again. After meeting his band-mates Andrew Leigh (guitar) and Lacey Anmar (violin), the band began to work towards this goal of collectivity. As with any creative venture, the first step was to create a demo to test the prospects. After sorting through Wright's dozens of previously written songs, the group got to recording, producing and finally releasing their first demos about a year and a half ago.   Fast-forward to August 2018, City of Sound has gained a small but mighty fanbase and they are ready to release the first song of their debut album, _Silent Empire._ Although the album has a total of 13 songs, it will be released in 3 parts, each corresponding to a different color (red, blue and green). By releasing each portion separately, Wright hopes to build more momentum for their album.  The first single they are releasing, entitled _Odyssey_. In Wright's words, the album revolves around a character called 'Empire' and "begins with a world destroyed, the idea being that that's where her journey truly begins, when she's left with nothing but herself." This destruction and chaos is what _Odyssey_ will focus on, but as the album progresses, the aim is to build up a "sense of hope and epic-ness"... We can't wait to hear it!  To learn more about the band and stay updated on their releases, visit their website [here](http://cityofsoundmusic.com).
