The New Citizen Kane – “PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1”

The New Citizen Kane just released PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1, and this 17-track album is a serious return after nearly a decade away from music. You can hear someone who stepped away, burned out, and came back because making music was the only way forward, not for charts or money.

My Muse and Afterglow tackle anxiety and creative burnout head-on. Heads Are Round builds off a Francis Picabia quote about how our thoughts can change direction, turning it into this spinning look at mental chaos. Ratbag Joy tricks you with its bouncy sound while the lyrics dig into the hollow side of nightlife and escapism. Bite the Bullet is brutal honesty about a relationship that ended badly, no sugarcoating.

The album also comes with an app that has videos for every track, games, mindfulness exercises, and direct updates from the artist. It’s a lot, but it actually works as a complete experience rather than just extra stuff tacked on. The songs move between philosophy, heartbreak, political satire, and dancefloor energy. Some tracks hit hard emotionally, others make you think, and a few just want you to move.
