The music of San Francisco's Citay brims with a casual, unforced effervescence that belies meticulous arranging. Formed in 2004 by guitarist Ezra Feinberg of Piano Magic and Tim Green of the Fucking Champs, Citay favors long instrumental sections piled high with acoustic guitars, tambourines, and Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies. [NPR]Citay is now on tour and they're going to play Cake Shop in NYC tonight (10/10). Can't make it? They're coming back in eight days to share a bill with Love as Laughter at Southpaw on the 18th.

In Citay, there's a lot of people who want to say things to you.
And it's worth a listen.

Well put, friendo. Still, I think there are too many people. Maybe they should make two groups. Or two and a half groups.

Tim Green of the Fucking Champs? What about Tim Green of Nation of Ulysses!?!
I hope their name is a tribute to Steve Perry's pronunciation of "city" in Journey's "When the Lights Go Down in the City."

Hey, thanks for posting about WFMU's Free Music Archive! But that 1st compilation is old news. It was released July 4th and is "sold out" (we gave em all away for free).
The new compilation was released yesterday, w/ a whole new tracklist that includes Silver Jews, Sic Alps, Ariel Pink, Indian Jewelry, Getatchew Mekuria/The Ex, Old Time Relijun, and Vivian Girls. We gave a few hundred CDs away at last night's Free Music Series show, and we're saving a few hundred more for the WFMU record fair (Oct 24-26). http://freemusicarchive.org/prelaunch/samplerv2 to download the free sounds.

p.s. @annonymous Citay has just the right amount of people and they use them wisely. The real problem is too many fucking humans!!

I saw them at Cake Shop and they were seriously fucking good. Duel kinda Allman Brothers guitar shred, acoustic Led Zepellin folk-y aspects without psych-indie aftertaste that sometimes doesn't go down so well. Heavy and airy. They have always been good but they're on a different level now
