Banquet UK exclusive (Hot Topic in the U.S. limited to 1300 copies) gold & black vinyl!

Second album from Michigan's Citizen who played the shop and Fighting Cocks last year. Really great post-hardcore infused punk thats is a must-have for fans of Title Fight, Basement, Superheaven right through to fans of Brand New and Small Brown Bike!

Haunting these ten songs is a foreboding, dark atmosphere masterfully crafted by producer Will Yip, and an immediate, intense energy is palpable from even the first grimy seconds of the opener, Cement. As with every one of Citizen's releases, Mat Kerekes' signature vocal delivery here is a trademark feature, demonstrating the emotional tension that boils over on this release. As cathartic as ever, he duels between a soft croon and a haunting scream, confronting his demons on tracks like My Favorite Color echoing the tormented refrain, my heart still beats for nothingÂ?. And while most of the record is an intense and noisy onslaught, songs like HeavisideÂ? and Yellow LoveÂ? act as armistices, each aching in reverb-drenched consonance.
