Following the roaring response to their much-loved initial offerings ‘Butterfly’ and ‘Shallow’ in recent months, Cambridge-based outfit In Cairo are continuing their upward ascent with their vibrant new single ‘Beyond Our Lives’.
Capturing more of that bold and driven indie-rock energy they have been quickly earning a reputation for, ‘Beyond Of Lives’ makes for an incredibly rich and riveting return for them. With its raw and driven textures, soaring atmosphere, and killer hooks layered throughout, they remain one of the more exciting names on the rise right now.
Speaking about the track, they said, “This song captures the feeling of knowing the fire has burned out but still longing for someone—where the only place you can be together is in dreams. That feeling never fades, lasting beyond this life.
“Gianluca wrote the main riff and lyrics, sending a voice note to the group chat. The Bloc Party-like energy called for quick, driving drums. It remained untitled for a while until Oscar and Gianluca landed on Beyond Our Lives. Written in Fulbourn just before Szymon joined, we later recorded it with Matt, bringing it to life.”
While they have certainly left their mark on the new music scene lately, ‘Beyond Our Lives’ shows they are still brimming with plenty of fresh and immersive ideas in which to explore. With such a firm and focused approach to their direction once again, we can’t wait to hear where this journey will take them next.
