Citrus Citrus are a five piece from Padua, Italy and the review of this wondrous album is a testament to why we value our utter independence. We can cover what we want, when we want, no genre holds us back if we like it and think you will.
It is fairly well known that I adore both Prog and Psych, but I only ever introduce it when I think that you will get why. In The Belly Of The Eternal Draw is a master of the hypnotic and the melodic. Beautifully arranged and played, it travels in many directions with inventive arrangements that can change throughout any particular song.
I understand why the mention of Prog can put people off, some bands do get wanky and many that are lauded, especially King Gizzard, appear more mellow Pop Rock or release three albums a year that gives the impression of a lack of quality control, plenty to be fair is.
This lot are the real thing. These songs are soundscapes, but don't fall into the trap of being too long. The band are not frightened of showing their influences, but largely stick to originality. The whole album is totally engaging. I've picked two selections, but this is an album to be listened to in one go. Dispatch your prejudices and have your musical mind nourished.
You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on Vinyl, CD and as a download.
