Release Notes:
Citizens! is a fantastic new band freshly signed to KitsunΘ. Five handsome
London boys who pen songs with a panoramic view. Warm, welcoming, traditional,
as classy as marbleà icing on cake they are produced by no one else than Alex
Kapranos!
Composed by Martyn, Thom, Mike, Lawrence and Tom , Citizens! is a call to arms,
a statement, a mark in the sand. Their bold statement is that they reclaim pop
cause ôPop is not a dirty word. ItÆs a holy one.ö (Mike)
The melodious vocals and the catchy music are the ingredients of good pop. They
treated recording like a game, an experiment. They thought that a band needed to
come along with the guts to make imaginative pop music, but to do it with soul
and integrity. They asked questions that other bands werenÆt asking, and mixed
elements they hadnÆt heard mixed before. Most importantly they wouldnÆt allow
themselves to mimic any particular moment from decades past.
ôItÆs us against the world,Æ Lawrence says, æwe make our own rules and we take
them very seriously. But it works because we donÆt take ourselves seriously
while we do it.ö
