Description

To celebrate 10 years of YOUTH, Citizen and Run For Cover Records have teamed up to completely update the bands debut LP. Since its initial release in 2013, the songs that make up Youths tracklist have been staples in mixtapes, playlists and record collections for listeners chasing what felt like a long-lost feeling in alternative music. YOUTH takes notes from the headbanging tempo of grunge, the hazy reverb of shoegaze, and the catharsis of emo together to make something deeply personal and profound. Songs like opener Roam the Room and the anthemic sing-a-long The Summer have been soundtracked a thousand stagedives at live shows, while pensive and moody songs like Figure You Out and Sleep offer brief, downtempo respites with blissful melodies. YOUTH also features Citizens two most popular songs: The Night I Drove Alone builds from a quiet, isolated guitar strum into vocalist & lyricist Mat Kerekes diary-like confessional, exploding mid-song into a full-band barrage, while How Does It Feel? incorporates dreamy shoegaze elements into a somber mid-tempo wall of sound.

New additions to the vinyl packaging include a die-cut slip-case cover to hold a new rendition of the albums classic flower text done by artist Mike Adams. Packaging also includes an updated printed inner sleeve with photos from the era as well as lyrics and updated liner notes. This updated version of Citizens first record pays homage to a landmark record for the band and re-contextualizes it alongside their ever-growing catalog.
