In a Tidal Wave of Mystery, the debut album from Los Angeles indie-pop duo Capital Cities, came out on June 4, 2013, through Capitol Records in partnership with Lazy Hooks. Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian had formed the band in 2008, and their single "Safe and Sound", released back in January 2011, had already topped the US Alternative Songs chart and ended up their biggest song worldwide.
The album builds on that song's formula: glossy synths, sunny hooks and a retro, dancefloor-ready bounce, the kind of pop that sounds engineered for a car commercial and doesn't mind a bit. André 3000 makes the record's only guest appearance. "One Minute More" is a breezy, hand-in-the-air strut that proves the duo had more than one trick. It debuted at number 66 on the Billboard 200.
