Dead Oceans are thrilled to announce the album by San Francisco’s Citay, 'Dream Get Together', which channels everything they love about Citay into their most cohesive and sophisticated album yet. The symphonic dueling lead guitars, soaring vocals, grandiose acoustic explorations and audacious synth solos are all present, sewn together seamlessly into an epic work.
Seldom has there been a more obvious choice for an album opener than 'Careful With That Hat', a song propelled by a deep groove and swing that practically begs the listener to stand up and air-drum wildly. The vocals soar, the lead guitars catch fire and the mammoth solo (courtesy of guitarist Josh Pollock) builds to an ecstatic explosion. This is the shot across the bow. Citay have arrived on 'Dream Get Together'. You can download the free mp3 'Careful With That Hat'. here
Led by songwriter Ezra Feinberg, Citay has made a career out of studio exploration, recalling a time when studio excess was the norm. Producer Tim Green, of the F**king Champs, is no stranger to sonic indulgence, and together Feinberg and Green have woven together a musical tapestry that is both heavy and sweet. In Citay, the metal leanings of Green's band are replaced by an altogether different brand of fantasy rock. 'Dream Get Together' has an embroidered and epic beauty that flies over the ocean while snuggling up to the ears. Joining Feinberg in Citay is drummer Warren Huegel, the electric guitars of Sean Smith and Josh Pollock, bassist Diego Gonzalez and Tahlia Harbour and Meryl Press sharing vocal duties, their sweet voices playing the perfect foil to the bombast.
"Citay is like, Let's all play the same guitar solo at once and that shit will sound like the entire universe is crashing down around you. And the best part? You're not even mad about it" - Fader, "an enterprisingly odd, melodic group." - John Mulvey (Uncut). You can read the full Uncut post here.
