CITIZENRY close their Safe Sounds session with brand new music
Today we've got some brand new music from CITIZENRY, the percussive electronic solo project of Mike Wallace that combines late 80s minimal synths and cyberpunk with 90s electro.
This track represents the final of four live songs that we filmed and recorded at Safe Sounds HQ inside our real, disused bank vault in downtown Toronto.
Watch all the videos on the official Safe Sounds YouTube channel today!
If you want to listen to CITIZENRY's debut self-titled album, head over to their bandcamp. The album was also released on strictly limited edition cassette, but you'll be lucky because they're all sold out now online.
It features Idious Carrie on backing vocals too. 👀
What else can we say about it? Well firstly we should introduce the interstellar lineups of creative people who made this possible –
CITIZENRY is Mike Wallace
Filmed by Bill Cutbill and Desiree Das Gupta
Audio Recorded and Mixed by Bill Cutbill
Additional Mixing by Mike Wallace
Mastered by Dean Tzenos
CITIZENRY is the solo project of Mike Wallace, the enigmatic drummer for the likes of Preoccupations, Odonis Odonis, Women, Bloodslide and more.
We've got a ton of stuff lined up for 2026, so watch this space and we hope you're having a fantastic start to the year!
