It’s been three years since American indie pop duo Capital Cities released their debut album “In a tidal wave of mystery“.
Now Ryan and Sebu have finally returned with a brand new single titled “Vowels”.
The track, written by the band along with Sermstyle, Brett McLaughlin, is a funk-infused song. It will appear on both a forthcoming EP from the pair and the soundtrack to the FIFA 17 video game.
The clip, directed by Remy Cayuela and produced by Brooke McDaniel, was shot on and around Broadway St. in downtown L.A. and incorporates choreography with American Sign Language.

Lyrics:
I got something on my mind
But words, they won’t do it justice
I could write it on a sign
But words, they won’t do it justice
I need a translator at the tip of my tongue
There’s a freight train of emotion stuck in my lungs
I need to get it out, get it out before it’s all gone
So I’ll just speak in vowels from now on
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I could tell you what it’s like
But words, they won’t do it justice
Spell it out, turn up the mic
But words, they won’t do it justice
I need a psychic to read my mind
Get me a Shakespeare to feed me lines
I need to let it out, let it out, I waited too long
I’m only using vowels from now on
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
