I was first really introduced to Electric Citizen back in
November when I saw them opening for Pentagram on two consecutive nights at
Saint Vitus Bar. I remember being immediately struck by the power of this band,
from Laura Dolan's stunning vocals to the driving power of her husband Ross's
riffs. Electric Citizen fully understand
the power of rock and roll and have been able to craft a sound that perfectly
reflects their own individual talents. Tapping into occult, almost Coven-esque
vibes, as well as invoking the burning rock and roll energy of a band like Blue
Cheer, the good folks in Electric Citizen have put out a top notch psych rock
record with Higher Time. One of my most hotly anticipated albums of the
year,
it represents a significant step forward for one of heavy rock's best bands.
Diving right in with the twisted madness of "Evil" and then going
from one riff-filled masterpiece to the next, Electric Citizen go well beyond
anything that they accomplished with 2014's Sateen. The band is coming into their
own, and they know it; after all, Higher Time is full of that pure raucous
energy and swagger that has always made this kind of music the best in the
world.
