Canadian post‑punk/shoegaze/goth ensemble The City Gates returns with a striking new single and accompanying music video, “Capitol Hill”. The track serves as the first preview of the band’s upcoming third full‑length, set for release on 15 May through Velouria Recordz and Icy Cold Records. With this new chapter, the Montreal outfit pushes deeper into cold, immersive soundscapes, expanding their already shadow‑laden sonic universe.
Over the years, The City Gates have carved out a distinct presence within the international alternative scene. Their music thrives on dramatic tension, melancholic melody, and a poetic sense of darkness — all wrapped in a dense, atmospheric production that feels both intimate and vast. On stage, the band’s performances are known for their enveloping, almost interstellar quality, pulling listeners into a journey that feels suspended between dream and decay.
To support the release of “Capitol Hill” and the forthcoming album, The City Gates will embark on a tour across Eastern Canada and Europe this spring, bringing their brooding sound to new and familiar audiences alike.
