Rarely do we get a record so wholesome such as pack your bags the sun is growing by bedbug. Over the years, the project of Dylan Gamez Citron (they/them) has grown from a solo outfit in Boston, MA to a full-fledged indie rock band in Los Angeles, and their new release is something truly special.
Although it sounds simply beautiful, the album proves to be far from an easy listening experience and is definitely not background music. It’s a real transcendent journey with profound emotional depth and needs your full attention. From the moment the first notes echo through the speakers, listeners are drawn into a world of haunting beauty and raw vulnerability.
This record evokes many great artists/bands who are usually tagged as emo, indie rock, bedroom pop, lo-fi etc. and it effortlessly puts all those influences under one umbrella, creating an organic whole and a living body of work. A lovely, lovely album that leaves a profound impact on the soul and makes your heart warm.
