about

Before the highly anticipated release of Time For Dreams’ sophomore album Life of the Inhabitant next week, we thought we’d let one last track sneak out. ‘Outside the Citadel’ is a party track, slinky synths and heart-thumping beats.

“A track dedicated to the feeling created by a night out of extremely deliberate, finely researched hedonism. A night that goes perfectly to plan but also includes the unimaginable, spontaneous elements that kick it up into the realm of the immortal nights. A night that goes for days, from which you emerge haggard but unbowed, spiritually refreshed, the cares of the previous era put into such a radical perspective that you can’t really remember why they were cares in the first place.” Amanda Roff

lyrics

Staying up all night
To get the opposite of insight
Changing out of my uniform
In a tiny toilet stall
The writing on the wall
Says I should give you a call
0h seven, seven four
Five seven, seven four five nine
For a good time
