With a stronger lyrical focus and a richer, more collaborative sound, The City is a story of stories - at its heart, it's an homage to the FemBots hometown, its victories and its failures. Told in vignettes of everyday life ("So Long" and "My Life in the Funeral Service"), odes to lost neighborhoods ("Demolition Waltz"), and laments for a place whose history is being buried under waves of condo development ("History Remade"). However, the FemBots are not jaded, their love for their city also comes through clearly on this album. At times raucous and loud, at others mournful and haunting, The City is the FemBots most personal album to date.
