Citizens!’ second album European Soul is billed as a “collection of contagiously exalting tracks that break with the economic, political and social angst felt in today’s world.”
Furthermore, European Soul is alleged to display a “wonderfully British ability to dance through the somber moments in life with irresistibly catchy tunes and feel-good mantras.” Amidst a crumbling empire, the British do have much to lament, but a proclivity to invert the somber seems an unrealistic claim.
