Citizens of YEAH!!! – People’s Republic of YEAH

The Citizens of YEAH!!! deliver an electrifying experience with their sophomore album ”People’s Republic of YEAH”. Born from the creative nucleus of Jonathan Womack, a multi-instrumentalist hailing from Newcastle Upon Tyne, this project stands as a testament to artistic resilience and innovation. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like Radiohead and Pixies, Womack takes listeners on a journey that melds introspective storytelling with bold musical experimentation.

This album highlights Womack’s growing confidence in production, featuring an eclectic mix of tracks such as the geeky yet captivating “Kimbrella” and the politically charged “War Dogs.” The narrative threads span from deep prehistory to sharp critiques of modern events, revealing Womack’s ability to connect disparate ideas into a cohesive soundscape. Tracks like “Survival of the Fittest,” with its haunting e-bow string quartet, demonstrate a fearless embrace of complexity, while “Under a Lion’s Head” offers surreal imagery inspired by real-world travels.

Home-recorded with contributions from collaborators like Daniel Clifford and Ed Bogira, the album is as raw as it is refined. Standout single “3 Little Piggies” has already been heralded as a “new wave masterpiece” by Humbug Northeast Blog, setting the tone for the rest of this bold release.

With ”People’s Republic of YEAH”, Citizens of YEAH!!! deliver a thrilling collection that balances nerdy charm with profound reflections, making it a must-add to your playlist. Follow the band on social media and dive into their audacious universe!
