Steampunk maintenance: Imaginary Cities teases new album with cabaret-style lament

Imaginary Cities: Fall of Romance (Votiv, 5/28/13)

Formed in Winnipeg as a between-sets jam session, indie-rock group Imaginary Cities is releasing its second album, Fall of Romance, May 28 on Votiv. The group, which includes Rusty Matyas (The Waking Eyes, The Weakerthans), has a laid-back, cinematic feel that suits singer Marti Sarbit, who sounds comfortable whether performing balladry or a cabaret-style lament.
