CTZNSHP – “HOLIDAY LIGHTS”
INDEPENDENT
It has been 7 years since the last ctznshp release. In that time our lives have changed. People have moved, families have grown, people have died, the world has continued careening towards a harder less loving place. ctznshp has remained an idea, a spark, a fire waiting to be rekindled. Not once in the intervening years has one of us mentioned making a new record. It was always there though as a subtext to our friendships. To our sense of ourselves. We trusted it to come when the time was right. We never forced its hand. And then it came…
Before we got down to recording a new record we felt we had unfinished business with many of our old recordings. In our time together as ctznshp we were two bands. One was a fuzzy, loud, swirling pop band as much influenced by the Scandinavians like Robyn, The Knife or Röyksopp as much as any rock band. Tight song writing, catchy, heart felt, dark and hazy, this was the band that made it’s way on to Doom Love or All Things To The Sea. There was another ctznshp though. That could be heard through jam space walls or on stage. This was a tight, blistering, psychedelic band expanding the limits of sound and noise a three piece could make. A band that would fit right in with APTBS or SUUNS or Joy Division. Dark, noisy, cathartic, hypnotic. That ctznshp still exists in old rehearsal recordings and long forgotten demos. This is the ctznshp we wish to present on our upcoming Release: Lost Loves, A Collection Of Rarities and Demos” A band cutting its teeth and finding itself in real time. A band that on the right night would leave the
audience in awe.
Moving forward we will attempt to meld these two bands finally into one fully realized project. For now we hope you enjoy the sound of a band becoming itself. Unconcerned with sales or likes or reviews. Just three impossibly close friends playing like their lives depend on it.
