Citizen Share New Song ‘Black And Red’

---

Toledo-based rockers Citizen release third single from upcoming full-length ‘Life In Your Glass World’.

The new track follows on from previous single ‘Blue Sunday’, showing the contrasts between the many moods found on ‘Life In Your Glass World’. A statement released with the track reads “Where “Blue Sunday” shows the album’s dreamy and atmospheric explorations, “Black and Red” represents the other side of the coin: a towering rock song that captures the band’s focus on blending propulsive rhythms with the muscular bass lines and anthemic hooks.”

Talking about the new track, Kerekes says “The song is about someone who leeches off of your efforts and turns out to be a bad friend on top of that, Nick wrote the guitar line late in the writing process, but we had to use it and ended up being the last song we wrote for the record.”

Check out the new track below.

‘Life In Your Glass World’ will be the band’s fourth album, and is due out on March 26 via Run For Cover Records. Guitarist Nick Hamm explained the creative freedom they felt writing the new track “I don’t have a lot of regret but there have definitely been times when we felt powerless during the band’s existence.”

“This time we really owned every part of the process. It’s easy to feel like you’re on autopilot when you’re in a band, but that’s not a good place to be this far into our existence. We consciously knew we wanted to break free.”

Adding “This is the first self-sufficient Citizen record. There was no pressure at all and moving at our own pace allowed the songs to be a little more fleshed out.”
