"In This City" is the song that put Iglu & Hartly on the map, a Mercury single and the American band's calling card from & Then Boom, their 2008 debut album, with Jarvis Anderson singing lead on a tune the band wrote together. It's bright synth-pop with rapping in it and a chorus built to be shouted back. NME scored it 8 out of 10 and praised that chorus, while Popjustice crowned it song of the day.
British radio got behind it hard: BBC Radio 1 put it on the upfront section of its playlist in August 2008 and moved it to the A-List the following month. It went top ten in the UK, Ireland and Flanders and reached 35 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, and it remains their only hit.
