Citizens! Tom Burke (Vocals) Lawrence Diamond (Keyboard/Guitar) Mike Evans (Drums) Thom Rhoades
(Guitar) Martyn Richmond (Bass) debuted in May 2012 with "Here We Are" which was produced by Alex Kapranos
(Franz Ferdinand) on Kitsuné.
Citizens! statement is that "pop is not a dirty word, it's a holy one". Their second album "European Soul" was recorded on Kitsuné's Paris studios, produced by Laurent d'Herbecourt (Phoenix collaborator) and it's a dancefloor-oriented, carefree pop album with elements of '70s disco and '80s synth pop. In Burke's words, european soul is "our a attempt to bring together the defiance and uplifting emotion of classic 60s American soul, with the electronic, quantised grooves of European dance music"
