========================================================

Part trippy psych...part-shoegaze.

""Melbourne’s psych rockers The Citradels are little known on this side of the world, unless you happen to follow 

the sort of blogs that specialize in this music. Therefore they are underappreciated, and it follows that I should 

review them to spread the word. I first heard of them through The Primal Music Blog, though they would also fit 

in great over at The Active Listener. Their music delves into the shoegaze-y droning, feedback drenched genre of music 

already staked out by Jesus & Mary Chain and Brian Jonestown Massacre. In honesty, all music has been done

 before, it’s the package and delivery that count. And The Citradels deliver it in spades! Recorded in 

under a week in an abandoned butter factory in Victoria, Australia, it's clear the band worked hard

 and sweated blood to get this done. In fact, their work ethic has led to six album releases in three years,

 and there’s no sign they’re slowing down.

        Opening song ‘Colour Cue’ has all the hallmarks of heavy trippy psych music meant to be played at maximum 

volume, with wailing vocals courtesy of Tom De Vries and loud fuzzed out guitars. ‘Honey’ has cool organ 

alternating with spacey guitars and drugged out vocals. 

   ‘Incense and Pepperspray’ (love the play on words) is a romp compared to its two predecessors, 

kicking things up into tripped out orbit and even veering close to Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd

 territory (think “See Emily Play”). I appreciate anyone who disses Mike Love, and ‘No Love for (Mike) Love’ does

 exactly that in its title, though the music is more standard fare, quite similar to BJM’s usual brand of droning psych. 

And then there’s the hopped up energy of ‘Anchor’, which is one of the album’s high points. They really bring it here,

 and it’s quite possibly my favorite track on this album. I love the slow, meandering vocals warring with the storming

 guitars, plus the announcer at the end.

     ‘Deadbeat’ opts for a slower, dreamier approach, and it’s carefully constructed of many musical layers, while ‘Too

 Easy To Be Too Hard’ returns to the trippier material this group excels at, and even features a harmonica toward 

the last quarter of the song. ‘Big City Lights’ has heavily reverbed vocals and is a dreamy pastiche of almost soothing

 sounds. Closer ‘When the Train Moves Slow’ kicks it up a notch, and finishes the album off in fine fashion. 

In summary, this is another WAY cool release from a psych band more people should be hearing.""
