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

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

This is Citay, a project out of San Francisco. At first Citay was a studio project between Ezra Feinberg and Tim Green from The Fucking Champs, 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 first Citay record is out now on Important Records (importantrecords.com). The record is also out on vinyl on Frenetic Records (freneticrecords.com).

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