Part pastoral collage, part AOR pastiche, Citay recall a simpler — er, more complex — time for rock 'n roll. The San Francisco collective's latest album, Little Kingdom, owes a great deal to the surname-only heroes of yore, fleshing out CSNY-style harmonies with thick analog-synth arrangements reminiscent of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Yet, bandleader Ezra Feinberg steers his unit clear of instrumental excess, instead infusing subdued folk with the sense of triumph that is often absent in indie rock.
