Ohio alt-rock quintet Citizen are sharing the new track Open Your Heart ahead of their upcoming extensive US tour with The Story So Far and Turnover. Produced and engineered by Will Yip at Studio 4 during the recording sessions for their most recent full-length As You Please, Open Your Heart explores the dark, anthemic sounds the band has perfected over their last several releases.

“Open Your Heart was left on the cutting room floor because we thought it was a little disruptive to the album as a whole. But looking back and listening now, it’s such a nice little curiosity in the Citizencatalogue.” – guitarist Nick Hamm.
 

 
Citizen’s As You Please reports from ground zero of an epidemic. Two years removed from their previous Run For Cover LP, Everybody Is Going To Heaven, Citizen’s perspective is far less sublime. As You Please is a confrontational record, incapable of turning a blind eye toward the inescapable strife. And so, songwriter Mat Kerekes pursues the source of discontent that is ravaging his Rust Belt city of Toledo, Ohio with the band’s most dynamic record to date.
