CITOVITZ AND THE FIREFLIES OF FEBRUARY Announce Release of “Hive of Weirdness” Album, Final Chapter of Instrumental Trilogy!
CITOVITZ AND THE FIREFLIES OF FEBRUARY - the innovative musical project led by Polish/Cairo based guitarist and songwriter Andrzej Citowicz - are thrilled to announce the release of their new instrumental album, “Hive of Weirdness”. The album is available on all major streaming platforms starting today, February 9th, 2024.
“Hive of Weirdness” marks the third and final installment in Citowicz’s instrumental trilogy, following the successful releases of “Misery Loves Company” (2022) and “Never Ending Storms” (2023). The album features 10 tracks of diverse and dynamic guitar-driven music, drawing inspiration from renowned artists such as Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Metallica, Volbeat, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai. Citowicz’s unique blend of genres and influences showcases his creative prowess and versatility as a composer and performer.
The album also features the musical talents of Patryk Szymanski, a fellow Polish musician and longtime collaborator of Citowicz. Szymanski’s bass contributions add depth and richness to the sonic landscape, complementing Citowicz’s guitar work with his own distinctive flair and skill.
While “Hive of Weirdness” represents the culmination of Citowicz’s instrumental journey, it also heralds a new phase in his musical career. Citowicz, a former recording artist for Down Boys Records, plans to revisit the songs from the trilogy and add vocals, collaborating with various singers and incorporating AI technology. His aim is to create a vocal version of the trilogy, offering a fresh perspective on his music and reaching a broader audience.
In addition to his musical endeavors, Citowicz is a prolific writer, having published two books: “Hive of Weirdness” and “The Exit”. The former is a collection of short stories exploring themes of reality, surrealism, and the human heart, while the latter is a prequel that delves into the journey of a neurodivergent young boy grappling with identity and acceptance. Drawing from his own experiences and insights as a neurodivergent adult, Citowicz crafts compelling and relatable characters and narratives.
