Citay is a project from ex-Piano Magic man Ezra Feinberg and Tim Green from Drag City’s The Fucking Champs.

If you have heard of it at all, you know Citay’s self-titled debut as one of the wiser indie releases of ‘06. The San Franciscan group mixed one early-’70s idea (grand, Zep-style English epics) with another (L.A. folk rock), fairly doubling up on the enchantment.

At first Citay was a studio project between Ezra and Tim, with some help from others. Now there is a live band including members of Tussle, Crime In Choir, The Dry Spells, By Land And Sea, 3 Leafs, Galactic Bunz, Horn of Dagoth and Sweet Potatoes. Citay has toured and/or shared bills with Vetiver, Six Organs Of Admittance, Howlin’ Rain, The Fucking Champs, Danava, Earthless, Black Fiction, Daevid Allen (from The Soft Machine and GONG), Papercuts, and many others…

The second Citay record, Little Kingdom, was released in the autumn of 2007 to critical acclaim, delivering a more upbeat riposte to the more sombre moments on the debut.

I get a wicked Santana/Caravanserai-like vibe listening to "Dream Get Together". Awesome stuff!

Former Child conjures strong resemblance to one of my favorite tracks, "Jail" by Down. This band is near flawless in execution. Brilliant shit.

Fabulous layers of music! I agree, I love the Led Zeppelin similarity. My mind also drifts to Jimi Hendrix.
