CITIZENS! – EUROPEAN SOUL (Indie – UK)

1 Comment

Citizens

British lads Citizens! have released their much awaited sophomore album European Soul, out now via Kitsuné! Profoundly positive, the band’s new album is a slick pop record of modern romanticism that leans towards the future. But now enough with the reading, check out their irresistibly dancy single “Waiting For Your Lover”!

Pop music is more than ever at the heart of the band’s spirit. Very few hearts resisted the rallying cry of their addictive singles “True Romance” and “Reptile”, not to mention their highly praised debut album Here We Are with its heady keyboards and catchy melodies, and now the four Londoners are establishing themselves as an unstoppable dance machine with European Soul.

Citizens

Back in 2011, alt pop outfit Citizens! experienced a meteoric rise to fame with their high-octane debut single, “True Romance”, released via cult Parisian label Kitsuné, and subsequent debut album, Here We Are, produced by Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos.


The London-based quartet is now gearing up for the release of their sophomore effort, European Soul, scheduled this April and in the meantime they have shared a video for first single “Lighten Up”. Released digitally in late 2014, the song was recorded as part of the album sessions with producer Laurent d’Herbecourt (whose credits include Phoenix) and features remixes by Tobtok, TÂCHES, Knuckle G, Davidian, Dillistone and new Kitsuné-signing Cesare.

Rüfüs

Over the past twelve months or so Aussie three piece RÜFÜS have built a solid reputation as Sydney’s best purveyors of highly volatile, indie dance beats. Euphoric, moody and deliciously low-fi, their compositions have been hailed by critics and embraced by thousands of dreamy-eyed, hips swaying fans. Their latest release is the Summer + Selena Remix EP, available now through Continental Records and it should definitely earn a few extra followers…

Rüfüs - This Summer (RUFUS Remix)     

The EP features five superb remixes courtesy of Parachute Youth, JBAG, Softwar, Lancelot and Frames, as well as a rework of “This Summer” by Rüfüs themselves. If there was ever a good time to revisit some of the trio’s best remixes, it is now! Check out a little selection below or click here and here for more…

Citizens!

Citizens! are five handsome London boys who make songs with a panoramic view. Warm, welcoming, traditional, as classy as marble… Icing on cake they are produced by Alex Kapranos (aka Franz Ferdinand’s frontman)! The band recently announced details of their forthcoming debut album, Here We Are, to be released on May 28 via Kitsuné. Ahead of the release, they are sharing their new single “Caroline”…

As a bonus, be sure to check out Citizens’ remix of the song “Puppets” by Welsh synthpop act Man Without Country. This remix was released last month as part of a download bundle available exclusively on the duo’s official website…

Citizens!

On the heels of their high-octane debut single “True Romance”, London-based indie outfit Citizens! move forward on their quest to reclaim pop music with new single “Reptile”. Now signed to Parisian label Kitsuné, the band will release the song on Feb 13th and the video, directed by Thibault Dumoulin, is already going viral on the net!


And if you think they sound a lot like Franz Ferdinand, you’d be right — as it turns out Citizens!’s debut album, due out later this year, will be produced by none other than Alex Kapranos, aka Franz Ferdinand’s frontman.
