Background notes
Archive material and source history
Imaginary Cities formed in Austin, Texas around 2003 when singer-songwriter Marti Sarris and guitarist John Krause started working together. They released their first album, 'Temporary Resident,' in 2007, followed by 'Lost at Sea' in 2009. Their song 'All the Time' came out in 2012.
Their music has drawn comparisons to artists like Nick Drake and Sufjan Stevens, and they've occasionally worked with other musicians including Laura Marling. The band has had various members over time, with Sarris and Krause remaining at the center.
In 2015, Sarris mentioned dealing with anxiety and depression, though she didn't elaborate much on how that affected the band's work. They've kept a fairly low profile since then, with no major releases in recent years.
