The City on Film In Formal Introduction cd/lp
Release: June 21, 2005

New solo effort and first full-length full band recording by Bob Nanna (Braid/Hey Mercedes) as The City On Film.

Keyboard accents, cello, and beautiful vocal delivery matched with Bobs' amazing lyrics, fantastic production, and an all-around stellar musicianship make this a must have.

After spanning 4 1/2 years of touring, 2 full-lengths, and 3 wonderful EPs (this being their third), this marks the final release from Milwaukees' Hey Mercedes. EP feaures 2 hard-to-finds that were previously released as a Japanese bonus track and a compilation track respectfully, 2 unreleased songs from the Loses Control demo sessions, and a live version of 'unorchestrated' which originally appears on Loses Control. A great closer to an extremely busy and prolific career.

05) Unorchestrated (live)
