New song ‘I Can See You From Here’ released by CITIZEN
Citizen, the rock powerhouse from Toledo, OH, is gearing up for the release of their eagerly awaited new album, Halcyon Blues. Today, they have unveiled another impressive single titled ‘I Can See You From Here.’ Scheduled for release on August 7th through Run For Cover Records, Halcyon Blues represents a confident and dynamic release that showcases nearly two decades of musical and personal growth. It solidifies Citizen’s position as one of the great modern rock bands, asserting their prowess in the music industry.
‘I Can See You From Here’ comes after the release of ‘Halcyon Blues’ and ‘Highs and Lows,’ combining bold alternative rock, lush atmospherics, and lead vocalist Mat Kerekes’ emotive vocals into a blend of melody and emotion that is uniquely Citizen. The pre-orders for Halcyon Blues have already begun, creating a buzz among fans eagerly awaiting the album’s release.
Throughout their 17-year career, Citizen has continuously charted their own course, unafraid to take creative risks and challenge expectations. Despite their rise from a group of high schoolers in Toledo to a globally recognized band headlining shows worldwide, Citizen still maintains a sense of being underdogs who have never quite fit in. Their musical evolution has been steady and daring, moving seamlessly across various genres like raw emo, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie pop. With Halcyon Blues, Citizen brings together elements from their entire discography into a cohesive record that embodies their signature sound.
The recording process, led by Kerekes and mixed by Tom Lorde-Alge, captures the urgency of their early work while embracing the hooks and grandeur of their recent releases. Citizen’s dedication to musical growth has been instrumental in nurturing their audience, allowing them to evolve alongside the band. Guitarist Nick Hamm emphasizes their long-term creative approach, fearing no limitations and always seeking new musical avenues to explore. This dedication has helped Citizen build a loyal fan base that has grown with them.
In support of Halcyon Blues, Citizen has lined up an extensive lineup of global tour dates. Starting with the North American leg supported by Anxious, Hotline TNT, Rocket, and Cryogeyser, the band will then move to the UK and EU with Modern Color, followed by a tour in Australia with Drug Church. This international tour reflects Citizen’s commitment to connecting with fans worldwide and showcasing their latest work to diverse audiences.
Citizen’s upcoming album, Halcyon Blues, promises a powerful musical journey that blends the band’s extensive experience and growth into a singular, impactful record. With an unyielding commitment to musical innovation and an unwavering connection with their audience, Citizen continues to solidify their position as a leading force in modern rock music.
