What is it?: Cicuta is Citizen's contribution to Will Yip's Off the Board: A Studio 4 Family Compilation, released in the beginning of October. The money raised from the comp goes directly to Will Yip's efforts to buy Studio 4. For the Philly scene and beyond, he is the one of the go-to producers for all things emo, hardcore, and punk. Off The Board features exclusive songs from Title Fight, Circa Survive, Balance and Composure, Polar Bear Club, as well as others, all produced and engineered by Yip at Studio 4.
Why is it Song of the Week?: After releasing Young States in 2011, Citizen earned a title as a band to watch. However, it was their June release Youth that proved that they are no longer young kids trying to make a name for themselves but rather a force to be reckoned with. Cicuta further illustrates this, as the song's booming chorus and heavy lyrics continue to resonate with the listener even after completion. Although having a sound that's pretty cohesive with Youth, this song stands strongly within Off the Board. Citizen fans should be content with this addition to the band's repertoire as it is a indication that Youth is only the beginning of outstanding releases to come.
