Instant Cities is Eamon Hamill, once of Hoboken, now of Prague, who makes music with an assemblage of machines which will eventually become sentient and destroy everything good he’s sought to create.

The evolving musical style takes elements from folk, hip-hop, motel-lounge crooning and various electronic genres, and is possibly best described as “those experiments which haven’t  gone wrong”. The lyrics often feature hazy narratives in surreal, half-remembered cityscapes and and joyful rants about the fraying of societal fabrics. The overarching idea behind Instant Cities is to make music that reflects the universal beauty and paranoia of urban places.

“Tender Moments In The Funny Part of Town” and “Coping With Shed Fires” are out now on Modern Shark, with other long-titled songs to follow.
