Search - Palumbo :: Citizen X

John Palumbo, the acclaimed leader and songwriter of CRACK THE SKY, challenges and depicts the hypocrisies, inconsistencies and foibles of our society and of the political mayhem we are experiencing each day. CITIZEN X is produced and mixed by Rob Stevens, who has produced and/or mixed albums by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Lennon (the posthumous and award-winning "Anthology"), and many others, and is currently exec producing the upcoming album collaborations that pair Cat Power, The Flaming Lips, Basement Jaxx, Polyphonic Spree, Apples in Stereo, and Peaches, with Yoko Ono (Astralwerks). Lifesong Records says: DUE TO THE NUMBER OF INQUIRIES WE HAVE RECEIVED, WE WISH TO STATE UNEQUIVOCABLY THAT "POP" IS IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM RELATED TO THE SUBJECT OR IDEA OF ASSASSINATION. THE LYRICS MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE SONG IS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT A FICTIONAL PRESIDENT'S HEAD MIGHT BECOME OVERLOADED AND EXPLODE FROM THE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF INFORMATION AND MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES HIS JOB REQUIRES HIM TO HANDLE, AND POSSIBLY HIS LIMITED CAPACITY TO DO SO.
