Introducing The Citadel to international audiences means re-introducing retro '60s aestheticism with a fresh touch of modern energy. The young quintet formed in the South German city of Erlangen in 2022 and built up their material through jams and experimentations. They have developed an almost two-hour live set of their own songs which evoke psychedelic rock, folk and an overall vintage flair transported by their warm charisma on stage. Touring all around the Nuremberg metropolitan region, The Citadel have now achieved several festival gigs all over the country while mixing their second studio album. Their 2024 debut album, The Foundation Cycle is now repressed by Subsound Records. With their roots in the psychedelic and progressive rock scene of the 1960s and '70s, The Citadel recorded their first complete musical statement in their drummer's studio, self-producing it and providing their own cover art. It is a fully self-made joint effort in transmitting vintage style sounds over new compositions. Blending psychedelic rock with folk and blues elements, narrative lyricism, electronic organ and flowing guitar solos, the result is unpolished, direct music: melodic, naïve, strange, full of groove and atmosphere -- take some time to listen in and enjoy! Also available on orange color vinyl (SSR 160LTD).
