A bold new chapter in their evolution, Citizen return with ‘Calling the Dogs’, a record that balances self-reflection with raw urgency. Opening introspectively and closing with an outward gaze, the album explores the ways we are shaped by those around us. Anger, vulnerability, and catharsis pulse through its ten tracks, delivered with directness and clarity unlike anything the band has done before. Produced by Rob Schnapf, the songs bristle with renewed energy, threading sharp hooks into gritty textures. From the infectious immediacy of “Headtrip” and “If You’re Lonely” to the slow-burning grooves of “Can’t Take It Slow,” the record captures a band writing with purpose, anger, and unshakable conviction.

Musically, ‘Calling the Dogs’ taps into the spirit of punk and post-punk revival, channeling echoes of the Ramones, Violent Femmes, and Bloc Party while embracing NYC garage rock grit. Tracks like “Hyper Trophy” pulse with rhythmic intensity, while “Dogs” and “Needs” carry the band’s signature mix of grit and melody into new territory. By leaning into their roots while experimenting with fresh dynamics, Citizen craft an album that feels immediate and resonant. Both familiar and forward-thinking, it marks one of their most compelling reinventions yet.
