About this product
2018 . Helltown, the third album by Electric Citizen, is, in many ways, a homecoming. While the title may seem fittingly metal (if not exceedingly so), it actually has real relevance. Helltown, while also multidimensional, is named after the Cincinnati, OH, neighborhood in which the band lives, practices, and where the album was written, recorded and mixed. Now known more prosaically as Northside, Helltown earned it's name in the 1800s due to it's reputation for rowdy taverns frequented by the neighborhood of factory workers and immigrants. Inasmuch as this album is an ode to the band's home and it's buried past, it also represents a return to the grittier sound of their 2014 debut, Sateen. Furthermore, it marks the return of original bassist Nick Vogelpohl, who rejoins vocalist Laura Dolan, guitarist Ross Dolan and drummer Nate Wagner. It's a fun, tough, dirty rock 'n' roll album.

Almost two years to the date of the of their breakthrough album, Citizen return with their highly anticipated follow-up full-length, Everybody is Going to Heaven. Haunting these ten songs is a foreboding, dark atmosphere masterfully crafted by producer Will Yip, and an immediate, intense energy is palpable from even the first grimy seconds of the opener, 'Cement.' As with every one of Citizen's releases, Mat Kerekes' signature vocal delivery here is a trademark feature, demonstrating the emotional tension that boils over on this . As cathartic as ever, he duels between a soft croon and a haunting scream, confronting his demons on tracks like 'My Favorite Color' echoing the tormented refrain, 'my heart still beats for nothing'. And while most of the record is an intense and noisy onslaught, songs like 'Heaviside' and 'Yellow Love' act as armistices, each aching in reverb-drenched consonance. Everybody is Going to Heaven is a defining record for Citizen once regarded as newcomers with undeniable potential, the band shows here that they have matured both abruptly and uniquely, with no end to their upward trajectory in sight.
Third record and follow up to 2011's Departing.
