The Wellington-based platinum-selling trio launched the powerful follow-up to 2004’s Home, Land and Sea as part of their live performance at WOMAD 2015 in March.
New Zealand has come to
know and love the music of TrinityRoots – a boil-up of ingredients that
musically embody the very essence of our home, land and sea
through their homely fusion of reggae, slow-funk and jazz exploration.
Citizen is a
snapshot of the band’s progression and development since the creation of the
previous two albums. Musically & lyrically, Warren Maxwell, Rio Hemopo and
newly-joined drummer Ben
Wood (Newtown
Rocksteady, Hikoikoi Reserve, Amiria Grenell, French for Rabbits) have
expanded their palette of sound and produced something informative and
resonant with present day Aotearoa.
Maxwell on Citizen:
“As an over-critical,
pedantic, self-deprecating, arrogant, stubborn, egotistic musician, I feel
really happy with this record. I feel anxious yet content in that we have made
it a challenging listen. I feel like we’ve tried to stay true and sincere to
all kaupapa in the songs – they all come from a genuine place for genuine
purpose. Our intent is the same as it has always been – to convey honest
musings on a vehicle of sonic influences to whomever wishes to listen.”
Praise for the album…
"The album will be a bit of a jump for fans expecting another Home, Land
and Sea, but Warren Maxwell’s dusty tone and lyrical metaphor remain unchanged,
acting as clear markers for navigating this sea of diverse influences" – The Wireless
“A quietly accomplished album, Citizen is
a slow burner that ends up dazzling.” – Metro Magazine
“The album is a waka of sorts: a vessel shaped from a living entity, carved
into form and function. It urges us to look closely at ourselves, our families,
and our communities, and at how we interact. It questions our priorities, our
direction, and our leadership. It encourages us to consider change. It points
the finger at greed, deception, hypocrisy, and apathy, yet manages to remain
ever hopeful.” – Bay of Plenty Times
Citizen - out now in all
good music stores
