Collapsing Cities - "Seriously"

Auckland band 'Collapsing Cities' sound a bit like Interpol if they were on the Flying Nun label. Although, they are not copying anyone but their influences shine through at times. Their debut album 'Elixer Always' was self released in 2008 to critical reviews and a lot of interest from student radio but unfortunately they were much ignored elsewhere. "Seriously" is about the complexities of dating... "Seriously, I really do think we can get along, even though we're an astrological disaster, I sure can give you some of what you're after"... sounds fair enough, although, it's not just their star signs that are at fault... "You've got some weird open relationship, with your boyfreind of eight years, and as much as most men would revel in it, you know it's gonna end up in tears" and I thought I had dating problems.
