Halcyon Blues - Vinyle Turquoise Translucide

Description

The constant sonic evolution of Citizen and their refusal to make the same album twice have earned them the reputation of being one of the most captivating bands in the modern rock scene. It is precisely this commitment to their art that has given birth to their new album, Halcyon Blues. It is the dynamic and assured culmination of everything that has come before, clearly demonstrating that despite their musical restlessness, Citizen has always known exactly who they were. Over the years, they have skillfully explored raw emo, menacing post-hardcore, anthemic alternative, garage-tinged indie pop, and much more. Today, Halcyon Blues incorporates elements from their early albums while embracing the epic scope and irresistible choruses of their more recent works. These are monumental rock tracks, laden with equally intense emotions, that gather the youthful frustration present throughout their discography to create a unique and immediately satisfying album that simply sounds like Citizen. While previous albums by Citizen felt like direct responses to the preceding release, Halcyon Blues gives the impression that the band is embracing their entire repertoire and evolving it. Recorded by Kerekes in his home studio in Toledo, then mixed by Tom Lorde-Alge (U2, Weezer, Blink-182), the album draws from the urgency and ferocity of Citizen's early days, which have also matured, replaced by a more nuanced but no less incisive adult perspective.
