"Tales from the City" is the second studio album by Canadian alternative rock band Mobile. It was released on October 7 2008 in Canada [citeweb|title=October 7th: Tales from the City|url= http://www.mobiletheband.com/blog/2008/sep/october-7th-tales-the-city ] . The debut single from the album, released on July 1 2008 is "The Killer".

The album was written and recorded in late 2007 and early 2008 [citeweb|url=http://www.mobiletheband.com/blog/2008/aug/tales-the-city-lyrics-and-melodies-part-1|title=Mobile Blog Entry - How Tales from the City was made part I |accessdate=2008-10-07 ] . The album's sound has some differences than "Tomorrow Starts Today", Mobile's debut album. The songs in this album mesh together better than the previous album, for one [citeweb|url=http://mobiletheband.com/blog/2008/jul/tales-the-city-how-the-album-was-made-part-1 |title=Mobile Blog Entry - How Tales from the City was made part I |accessdate=2008-08-04 ] . In July 2007 Christian's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and some of the music in this album was inspired by that event. According to Mat the album "will show a different side of Mobile" [citeweb|url=http://mobiletheband.com/blog/2008/jan/its-coming-soon |title=Mobile Blog Entry - It's coming soon! |accessdate=2008-08-04 ] .

The opening track of "Tales from the City", "Daylight Breaks", was actually written in 2000 and was not recorded until this album. Mobile considers the song "the perfect bridge between" "Tomorrow Starts Today" and "Tales from the City" [citeweb|url=http://mobiletheband.com/blog/2008/jul/tales-the-city-how-the-album-was-made-part-ii|title=Mobile Blog Entry - How Tales from the City was made part II |accessdate=2008-08-04 ] .

Six of the songs from the album can be listened to on MTV's website [http://www.mtv.ca/?id=1595875] . MTV has these songs available to listen to because the band was part of the leak live tour done by MTV from September 22 until October 6 2008 [citeweb|url=http://www.mobiletheband.com/blog/2008/sep/the-leak-live-tour|title=The Leak Live Tour|accessdate=2008-10-07 ] .
