The Pulse of Rebellion—Wrapped in Echoes and Emotion

Citizens of YEAH!!! return with Rectangle, a bold and captivating single that refuses to sit still. Crafted in a newly upgraded home studio, this track feels anything but confined, it thrums with the expansive spirit of a live performance, yet every sound is meticulously shaped, deliberate, and meaningful. From the first few seconds, you can hear the fingerprints of Steve Albini’s raw production style. It’s intimate, unfiltered, and loud in the best possible way, like being front row in a dimly lit venue, watching something beautiful fall apart and rebuild itself mid-song.

Drawing on sonic threads from Low’s Things We Lost in the Fire and the emotional immediacy of The Smiths and the Pixies, Rectangle manages to hit that sweet spot where nostalgia and innovation overlap. It’s gritty yet refined, an echo chamber of indie, post-punk, and alt-folk, simmering with tension but never bursting at the seams.

This is no lo-fi lockdown experiment. It’s a signal flare. With Rectangle, Citizens of YEAH!!! elevate their craft, proving that bedroom projects can hold stadium-sized ambition. If this is a taste of the upcoming third album, we’re in for something powerful.
