Italy, 1947. Attilio is a Fascist and disgraced former movie star. Out of desperation, he joins a band of robbers for a heist. After the robbery, Attilio and the robbers take refuge in a house that proves to be deadly.

The creative alchemy of two former jingle writers—Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian—is at the core of Capital Cities, an L.A. outfit that offers captivating, synth-infused indie pop. The group's debut, In a Tidal Wave of Mystery, fuses a wall of shimmering keyboards, percolating ‘80s synth bass, and brisk electronic beats.
