Dreaming of Citra deliver aching allure on new single 'Hostage'

Manchester five-piece Dreaming of Citra return with 'Hostage', a brooding, slow-burning plea wrapped in the shimmer of grungy disco. It’s the sound of longing stretched across four minutes.

Since emerging in 2021, the band has carved out a unique lane between alt-rock grit and pop sensibility, and 'Hostage' might be their most emotionally charged release yet. Thick with atmosphere and tension, it’s a track that begs to be felt as much as heard, each lyric echoing the ache of wanting someone just out of reach.

With its potent blend of shadowy grooves and vulnerable lyricism, 'Hostage' proves Dreaming of Citra are not just chasing a sound, they’re building one of their own.
