Since it’s initial release in 2013, the songs that make up Youth’s tracklist have been staples in mixtapes, playlists and record collections for listeners chasing what felt like a long-lost feeling in alternative music. YOUTH takes notes from the headbanging tempo of grunge, the hazy reverb of shoegaze, and the catharsis of emo together to make something deeply personal and profound. Songs like opener “Roam the Room” and the anthemic sing-a-long “The Summer” have been soundtracked a thousand stagedives at live shows, while pensive and moody songs like “Figure You Out” and “Sleep” offer brief, downtempo respites with blissful melodies. YOUTH also features Citizen’s two most popular songs: “The Night I Drove Alone” builds from a quiet, isolated guitar strum into vocalist \u0026amp; lyricist Mat Kerekes’ diary-like confessional, exploding mid-song into a full-band barrage, while “How Does It Feel?” incorporates dreamy shoegaze elements into a somber mid-tempo wall of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew additions to the vinyl packaging include a die-cut slip-case cover to hold a new rendition of the album’s classic flower text done by artist Mike Adams. Packaging also includes an updated printed inner sleeve with photos from the era as well as lyrics and updated liner notes. This updated version of Citizen’s first record pays homage to a landmark record for the band and re-contextualizes it alongside their ever-growing catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklisting: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1.

The album’s first single, “If You’re Lonely,” is the kind of upbeat singalong anthem fans should expect to belt out at shows for years to come. Tracks like “Hyper Trophy” and “Can’t Take It Slow” show that Citizen can still put out unforgettable melodies over dance-worthy rhythms, while others (like “When I Let You Down”) lean more into timeless classics bordering on garage rock.

Pairing up again with longtime producer Will Yip, the band presents twelve songs that fuse aspects of their entire catalog into one neoteric whole. While the cathartic melancholy of their debut Youth and the jarring intensity of 2015’s Everybody is Going to Heaven are both present, the most welcome addition to Citizen’s arsenal on As You Please is the range of auxiliary instrumentation and sonic experimentation on the album. This is most notable on “In the Middle of it All,” where vocalist Mat Kerekes is sampled singing the song title in a modulated, haunting chorus that echoes throughout the song. The addition of organs and unconventional drum effects on songs like “You Are A Star” and “Medicine” create shifting emphases on tension and frailty, while the huge choruses of songs like opener “Jet” and “I Forgive No One” are reminders that while Citizen dove headfirst into uncharted territory with their new album, the band is still as good as ever at writing emotionally-charged anthems. As You Please presents Citizen’s vision at the most focused it has ever been - it is delicately crafted to provoke at every moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the Middle Of It All\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs You Please\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMedicine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUgly Luck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorld\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFever Days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eControl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiscrete Routine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI Forgive No One\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou Are a Star\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlowerchild\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Run For Cover Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47783876395281,"sku":"RFC-162","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/9494\/0689\/files\/AsYouPleaseSplatter.png?v=1727975779"},{"product_id":"citizen-life-in-your-glass-world-lp","title":"Citizen \"Life In Your Glass World\" LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP - Glass Clear\u003cbr\u003e🚛 - In Stock \u0026amp; Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCitizen have always eluded definition. The Toledo, Ohio-based four-piece have been making dynamic, wide-ranging guitar music for over ten years, challenging expectations with each new album and refusing to fit neatly in a box.

Recorded in vocalist Mat Kerekes’ home studio in his garage, Citizen’s need to continue moving forward creatively went hand in hand with their desire to be fully in control of their creative destiny. The new process afforded the band time to focus on each song’s individual mood, making their sig-nature blend of aggression and melody all the more pronounced, and even capturing appealing imperfections. The result is an album that represents the members’ vision in its purest form, something that feels distinctly Citizen while also marking the start of a fresh chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the most immediately striking elements of the direction on Life In Your Glass World is the band’s attention to rhythm.

The band’s desire to assert themselves is palpable both in the music and Kerekes’ lyrics, mirroring not only their creative frustrations but also a long year of personal upheavals.

Everybody Is Going to Heaven didn’t just mark where they were; it lit the way for everything that came next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis 10 Year Anniversary Edition features new, gatefold packaging with updated photos, lyrics and liner notes. Disc one incldues the originial album in full and the brand new second disc features rare b-side “Nail In Your Hand,” a re-done version of “Heaviside” with artist Wisp performing vocals on the song, and seven never-before heard demo versions of songs from Citizen’s second

an impressive career, Citizen still feel like underdogs who have never quite fit in. The band’s persistent sonic evolution and refusal to make the same record twice has earned them a reputation as one of the most consistently captivating bands in modern rock music. But following your own path often means walking it alone, and their unlikely rise from a band of Toledo high schoolers to long-running headliners capable of selling out shows around the world has been hard-earned. It's precisely this commitment to their craft that has led to their new album, Halcyon Blues. It’s a dynamic and confident culmination of all that’s come before, making it crystal clear that for all their sonic restlessness, Citizen have always known exactly who they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the start, the band–vocalist Mat Kerekes, guitarist Nick Hamm, bassist Eric Hamm, along with newer members guitarist Mason Mercer and drummer Ben Russin–were steadfastly determined to follow their creativity wherever it led. Over the years they deftly moved through raw emo, menacing post-hardcore, anthemic alternative, garage-y indie pop, and so much more. Now Halcyon Blues brings elements from throughout their entire catalog together into a singular and instantly satisfying record that just sounds like Citizen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the band’s earlier years, their sonic shifts were seen as a bug rather than a feature. “We’ve never easily known where we belong,” explains Kerekes. “When we were coming up we’d try to get tours and people would ask verbatim, ‘What kind of band is this?’ We were the ugly ducklings for a long time, and maybe we still are, but I like that we figured out how to stand on our own.” And the band has also stood the test of time. While many of their contemporaries from the 2010s emo boom burned bright but also quickly burned out, Citizen’s singular focus on pushing themselves musically allowed them to grow steadily–and for their audience to grow with them. “A lot of bands try to do anything they can to be the hottest thing of the moment and we’ve just never operated like that,” says Nick Hamm. “We don't think in moments, or months, or record cycles. Some bands end up getting sick of whatever walls they exist in, but I see Citizen as this long term creative project where there’s always somewhere new to go, and that’s kept me exhilarated through all these years. And we’ve trusted that people who like our band will want to come along. A lot of people grew with us and we’re really thankful for that.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere past Citizen albums have felt like direct responses to the preceding release, Halcyon Blues sounds like the group wrapping their arms around their entire catalog and carrying it forward. Recorded by Kerekes in his home studio in Toledo, then mixed by Tom Lorde-Alge (U2, Weezer, Blink182), the record taps into the urgency and ferocity of Citizen’s early albums while embracing the epic scope and undeniable hooks of their more recent work. “I think the band is always in conversation with itself,” explains Hamm. “Early on we tried to set it up so that Citizen could be whatever we want it to be, so we’ve always been ready and willing for the music to change as we change as people. But at the end of the day we are still the same people making music together, the same people that made Youth and all the rest.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing those people hasn’t always been easy, for Kerekes in particular, and Halcyon Blues finds him simultaneously reckoning with personal upheaval while finding a sense of security within the band for the first time. “When you're doing what you always dreamed of doing, you really don't understand why it’s not always fulfilling,” he explains. “There’s been times where I've thought about leaving the band, but the Youth anniversary shows were a real gamechanger for me. I would walk out on stage and look out at the front row and see people’s faces that I recognized because they’ve been coming to Citizen shows for a decade. It made me sort of feel like this is the coolest thing ever. Why would I even for a second not be stoked on it? From that moment on I've just been all in. This is who I am and this is what I do.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKerekes’ self-assuredness with his role in the band contrasts the uncertainty that permeates Halcyon Blues’ lyrics. “It’s about unexpected change,” he says. “You think you know everything, you think you have everything figured out, and then all of the sudden you don’t. Everything’s different, for better and for worse. Sometimes it’s really hard but ultimately it might be for the best.” The opening salvo of “Good Fortune” and “I Can See You from Here” explode from the speakers, introducing the record’s blend of technicolor sound and melancholic themes. These are huge rock songs with fittingly huge emotions, but the youthful frustration of Citizen’s early work has grown up too, replaced by a more nuanced, though no less cutting, adult perspective. “The album sounds sad but it’s not necessarily like that,” says Kerekes. “Sometimes coming of age things are bittersweet, and this is sort of like that too.” Mid-album standout “Always The Last One To Leave” offers one of the most sweeping ballads Citizen have ever penned, while scorching tracks like “Matador” or “Smooth Talker” tap into pent up resentment with cathartic results. “Highs and Lows” pushes the band’s sound to truly astounding heights, a soaring alternative song driven by propulsive drums, a towering chorus melody, and synth strings that draw the listener into Kerekes’ emotionally raw storytelling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the cinematic “Anne” closes out Halcyon Blues, it’s clear that Citizen have truly arrived. “I never imagined we’d play shows to several hundred people, let alone thousands,” says Hamm. “We never had that red-hot rocketship thing, but we always did what we wanted to do and we had a feeling that if we kept doing it, then eventually everything else would come together. Maybe we’ve started to come to that point.” This is the sound of nearly two decades of musical and personal experience combined into a declaration of something their dedicated fans already know: Citizen is one of our great modern rock bands–and they’re at the absolute top of their game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood Fortune\u003cbr\u003eI Can See You From Here\u003cbr\u003eHalcyon Blues\u003cbr\u003eIs It In My Brain\u003cbr\u003eAlways the Last One To Leave\u003cbr\u003eEither Way\u003cbr\u003eMatador\u003cbr\u003eEther\u003cbr\u003eSmooth Talker\u003cbr\u003eHighs and Lows\u003cbr\u003eAnne\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e150 Spotlight (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/runforcoverrecords.com\/products\/run-for-cover-magic-circle-vinyl-subscription\"\u003eRun For Cover Magic Circle Vinyl Subscription\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e850 Halcyon Blues (Run For Cover Exclusive)\u003cbr\u003e1000 Matador Red (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.citizentheband.net\/\"\u003eCitizen Exclusive\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e2000 Good Fortune (First Run Club Indie Retail)\u003cbr\u003e400 Highs and Lows (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.goingundergroundrecords.com\/\"\u003eGoing Underground\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wannahearitstore.com\/\"\u003eWanna Hear it\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eExclusive)\u003cbr\u003e400 Ether (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.brooklynvegan.com\/collections\/all\"\u003eBrooklynVegan Exclusive\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e300 Smooth Talker (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.roughtrade.com\/en-us\/collection\/exclusive\"\u003eRough Trade Exclusive\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e2500 Sea Glass \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Run For Cover Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Good Fortune (First Run Club Indie Retail) ltd 2000","offer_id":56593701405058,"sku":"RFC-299-LP-c5","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Sea Glass ltd 2500","offer_id":56593701437826,"sku":"RFC-299","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/9494\/0689\/files\/firstrun.png?v=1777353820"},{"product_id":"citizen-halcyon-blues-cd","title":"Citizen 'Halcyon Blues' CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e🚛 - Pre-Order expected to ship August 7th 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e17 years into an impressive career, Citizen still feel like underdogs who have never quite fit in.

Maybe we’ve started to come to that point.” This is the sound of nearly two decades of musical and personal experience combined into a declaration of something their dedicated fans already know: Citizen is one of our great modern rock bands–and they’re at the absolute top of their game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood Fortune\u003cbr\u003eI Can See You From Here\u003cbr\u003eHalcyon Blues\u003cbr\u003eIs It In My Brain\u003cbr\u003eAlways the Last One To Leave\u003cbr\u003eEither Way\u003cbr\u003eMatador\u003cbr\u003eEther\u003cbr\u003eSmooth Talker\u003cbr\u003eHighs and Lows\u003cbr\u003eAnne\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e150 Spotlight (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/runforcoverrecords.com\/products\/run-for-cover-magic-circle-vinyl-subscription\"\u003eRun For Cover Magic Circle Vinyl Subscription\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e850 Halcyon Blues (Run For Cover Exclusive)\u003cbr\u003e1000 Matador Red (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.citizentheband.net\/\"\u003eCitizen Exclusive\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e2000 Good Fortune (First Run Club Indie Retail)\u003cbr\u003e400 Highs and Lows (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.goingundergroundrecords.com\/\"\u003eGoing Underground\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wannahearitstore.com\/\"\u003eWanna Hear it\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eExclusive)\u003cbr\u003e400 Ether (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.brooklynvegan.com\/collections\/all\"\u003eBrooklynVegan Exclusive\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e300 Smooth Talker (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.roughtrade.com\/en-us\/collection\/exclusive\"\u003eRough Trade Exclusive\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e2500 Sea Glass \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Run For Cover Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56593704124802,"sku":"RFC-299-CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/9494\/0689\/files\/citizencd.png?v=1777354590"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/9494\/0689\/collections\/COLLECTION_SQUARE_d6c101d9-76cc-4b26-abe7-6bf698688bb2.png?v=1777356884","url":"https:\/\/devildogdistro.com\/en-ie\/collections\/citizen.oembed","provider":"Devil Dog Distro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
