From Home Studio to Sonic Renaissance: The New Citizen Kane Transformed Anxiety into a 21-Track Electronic Opus.

The New Citizen Kane, an artist from London, releases “The Tales Of Morpheus”, a huge 21-track record that mixes electronic music with indie pop, new wave, nu-disco, and even bossa nova.

Introspective and wide, this self-produced piece recorded fully in a home studio explores personal growth, creative freedom, and the healing power of music.

That is not the kind of music you would want to play at a dinner party. This is music that grabs you by the shoulders, shakes you gently, and says “Pay attention.”

The most interesting thing about this release is how deeply personal it feels. All of Kane’s songs are like chapters in his life, with themes of worry, finding out about yourself, and love running through them.

On the surface, songs like “Killer Charisma” look great—a funky dance hit with enough swagger to fill a Hollywood montage. But if you peel back the layers, you will find words that struggle with being real in a world that is full of fakes.

The New Citizen Kane makes deep electronic sounds that do not sound like they came from a bedroom studio. “Stupid Blue” is a great example of this technical skill because it combines James Chalkwood’s blues guitar riffs with trip-hop beats and midnight piano lines to make something that is both raw and polished.

It is like David Bowie and Taylor Swift met at a jazz club late at night and chose to write a song that was both weird and deep.

But do not forget “Overdrawn,” a song that explores love that goes beyond words and is a mix of pop, techno, and urban sounds.

When you listen to it, it is like seeing two dancers spin in the moonlight; their moves are both beautiful and crazy. “Overdrawn” perfectly captures this change, with its low-pitched singing and mix of urban and electronic styles that open up new artistic ground.

The DIY spirit of this record is one of the most interesting things about it. The New Citizen Kane made something very personal without losing polish. It was all recorded in a spare bedroom that was turned into a studio.

The record tells even more stories through its art. It is like a digital book because each song has a music movie to go with it. Some clips use pop culture references, while others are more vague.

But they all add to the story as a whole. The New Citizen Kane even has a special vinyl version with a full art guide for fans who want to go deeper. It is a nice way to remember that records can still be physical experiences.

What is really interesting is how the album’s development matches its ideas. Although it started out as an EP with songs like “Could Have Been” and “Forget The World,” the project grew naturally as it got more plays and more creative confidence.

As a record that came about because of stress, “The Tales of Morpheus” gives off a lot of confidence. It shows how artistic expression can turn personal problems into something exciting and possible, all while sitting in a spare bedroom at night, with the moon shining and the neighbours (luckily) not bothering you.

What do we have left after reading “The Tales of Morpheus?” Maybe the idea that between light and dark, happiness and sadness, and ease and difficulty, music, like life, lives.

To put it another way, sometimes hearing someone else’s story is the best way to understand our own. In any case, Kane has made a record that feels alive, like a mirror that shows how human we all are, flaws and all.
