SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
London's electro-indie pop quintet Citizens! feature singer Tom Burke,
keyboardist Lawrence Diamond, drummer Michael Evans, bassist Martyn Richmond,
and guitarist Thom Rhoades. Previously, Burke, Diamond, and Evans were in the
band Official Secrets Act together, but the group disbanded in 2009 soon after
the release of its debut album, Understanding Electricity, that year. After
taking some time off from making music, the trio reunited, brought in Rhoades
and Richmond, and began recording demos. The band's sleekly catchy sound
recalled both glam and Berlin-era Bowie, Sparks, Suede, and more contemporary
acts like Hot Chip, and a demo version of one of its songs, "Let's Go All the
Way," appeared on 2011's KitsunΘ Maison, Vol. 11. Meanwhile, the group shopped
its demos and eventually connected with Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos, who
recorded Citizens!' debut album in Scotland early that year. By August 2011,
Citizens! were playing their first live shows, and KitsunΘ released their
official debut single, True Romance, that December. Two other singles, Reptile
and Caroline, arrived before their first full-length, Here We Are, was released
in May 2012 in the U.K. and Europe and in October in the U.S. Following
extensive touring in support of the album, Citizens! decamped to KitsunΘ's Paris
studios to begin work on the follow-up. Having absorbed numerous influences, the
band set out to create their own contemporary vision of American soul music. The
resulting album, 2015's European Soul, was a dancefloor-oriented, carefree pop
record with elements of '70s disco and '80s synth pop.
