One of Melborune’s most underrated, underground psych-rock crews The Citradels are gearing up to unleash their brand new album Are They Still Here? (out via Psychic Ric Records) and today we have the pleasure of giving you sneak peak of this killer release.
The sixth (yep!) LP from the five piece was crafted when the band decided to camp out in a 50 year old disused butter factory in rural Victoria.
After five days in the empty, eerie and potentially asbestos ridden factory drinking crappy beer and recording in isolation the album was done. It’s all in a week’s work for the band, who have released six albums in just three years – as well as three EPs (which they released from 2010 – 2013).
Influenced by more classic names like Slowdive, Ride, spacemen 3 and Primal Scream as well as local contemporaries Sydney siders The Grease Arrestor and Melbourne locals Luna Ghost, Are They Still Here? sees The Citradels proving that you don’t have to sacrifice quality for quantity.
The 10 track release is officially out today, check out below and if you like what you’re hearing pop by www.psychicricrecords.com to pick up a copy.
