For its 2007 album, GRANDDANCE, the Australian indie ensemble Dapples Cities (formerly known as Dappled Cities Fly) unveils a dynamic and energetic outing that displays clear alternative-rock/post-punk influences (see the Flaming Lips, Television), while still establishing its own sound. Though "Holy Bell" notably evokes Grandaddy (no coincidence, since that band's Jim Fairchild is one of the record's producers), its playful arrangement and quirky refrain set the group apart from its predecessor, while others songs (see the bright "Fire Fire Fire") show off Dappled Cities' poppier inclinations.
