There’s more fun to be had via the punchy post-punk of Pedestal and penultimate track Winter Buds, whose unexpectedly fuzzed-out bridge is one of this album’s most enjoyable moments, but Citizen save the best for last here, as closing song Edge Of The World brings things to a grand, emotional climax that effortlessly invokes every facet of its creators’ varied sound.
A composed and well-thought-out record, Life In Your Glass World doesn’t exactly shatter expectations, but what it does showcase is a talented band operating with a fully-fledged confidence and faith in their craft, and that’s more than fine by us.
Verdict: 3/5
