Today, Ohio rock quintet Citizen have announced their seventh studio album Halcyon Blues, due out August 7th via Run For Cover Records. 

With the announcement comes the record's lead single, "Highs and Lows."

“A lot of bands try to do anything they can to be the hottest thing of the moment and we’ve just never operated like that,” guitarist Nick Hamm says of the record. “We don't think in moments, or months, or record cycles. Some bands end up getting sick of whatever walls they exist in, but I see Citizen as this long term creative project where there’s always somewhere new to go, and that’s kept me exhilarated through all these years. And we’ve trusted that people who like our band will want to come along. A lot of people grew with us and we’re really thankful for that.”

Citizen will be going on a seven-month-long world tour in support of Halcyon Blues, which kicks off this August with two dates at Chicago's Thalia Hall. The North American dates will see support from Anxious, Hotline TNT, Cryogeyser, and Rocket. The Europe leg will be supported by Modern Color, and the Australian dates will feature Drug Church in the opening slot.
