Calling The Dogs Limited Brown Vinyl LP

Calling the Dogs is an album that opens looking inward and closes looking outward. Its an album that considers the people we become as a result of the people that surround us. It marks a new era of the band not only in personnel, but also breathes new air thematically. Its a record of self reflection, as well as one that exercises anger in a matter more direct than ever before. Channeling artists like the Ramones, Violent Femmes and Bloc Party, Calling the Dogs feels like a new chapter for Citizen. Songs like opener Headtrip and lead single If Youre Lonely grip like signature Citizen songs infused with a new energy and infectiousness by producer Rob Schnapf. Like their 2021 album Life In Your Glass World, theres a clear influence of NYC garage rock revival on songs like Hyper Trophy and the groovy Cant Take It Slow. But Citizen is never lets a single mood stay for too long on Calling the Dogs – across the record there are moments of pop bliss, punk aggression and standard Citizen meloncholy. Drawing upon their personal experiences and collective musical prowess, Citizen has crafted a record that pushes boundaries and challenges the listener to explore their own emotional landscapes.
