All five members decided to camp out in isolation for 5 days and record\u00a0the album in a 50 year old disused butter factory in rural Victoria. The band chose the space for its emptiness, its history, and wanted to place themselves in an atmosphere where they could do nothing but complete the album.

The band attempts to release as much as they can to keep gigging and stay relevant in the local psych scene.<\/p>\n<p>The Citradels in the past have been produced more &#8220;drone and roll&#8221; tunes complete with fuzz guitar and sitars that induce listeners into a meditative state. The band wears its influences on its sleeve with\u00a0&#8216;Are They Still Here?&#8217; has a rather electric undertone harking back to classic shoegaze legends\u00a0such as Slowdive and Ride, but with an edgier air to it along the lines of Spacemen 3. The five piece neo psych\/showgaze\/drone have managed to capture fuzzy riff based numbers but also have a few slow burners to bliss out to.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out The Citradels live in select dates around Australia &#8211; see list below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tour dates:<\/strong><br \/>\nFebruary 20th &#8211;\u00a0The Brisbane Hotel, Hobart<br \/>\nFebruary 26th &#8211;\u00a0The John Curtain, Melbourne<br \/>\nMarch 11th\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0The Grace Emily, Adelaide<br \/>\nMarch\u00a026th &#8211;\u00a0Frieda&#8217;s Bar, Sydney<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>After the release of their single Honey last October, The Citradels have\u00a0released their latest LP &#8216;Are They Still Here?&#8217; on vinyl via psych rock label <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=19720\" title=\"The Citradels release their latest LP &#8216;Are They Still Here?&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19721,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23,25,28,30,1907],"tags":[4228,3934,4227,4229,4230,1245],"class_list":["post-19720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-new-release","category-news","tag-are-they-still-here","tag-australia","tag-honey","tag-psychic-ric-records","tag-the-citradels","tag-tour-dates"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/0003659825_10.jpg?fit=1200%2C489","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-584","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":27206,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=27206","url_meta":{"origin":19720,"position":0},"title":"Bee Bee Sea announces new LP &#8216;Sonic Boomerang&#8217;","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"November 2, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Italian band Bee Bee Sea have announced their sophomore LP, 'Sonic Boomerang,' out November 17th via Dirty Water Records USA (digital, cassette) and Wild Honey Records (vinyl).
