We've been enjoying the smooth psychedelics of San Francisco pop-rock troupe Citay's sophomore album Little Kingdom. As you can tell in the photo below, there are quite a few people lending their hands to the '70s redolent harmonies (a number of "ooh"'s and "ahhh"'s) and pastoral, at times Floydian compositional sense, creating a deeply lush but airy sound. Grab an extra shaker, Popol Vuh t-shirt, and breeze into "Eye On The Dollar" after the jump.

Citay - "Eye On The Dollar" (MP3)
That outro guitar wail behind those Byrds-y sighs? Yes, gorgeous. If you liked the first sip, please take another with a second heady Little Kingdom track "First Fantasy." Prep yourself for the overlapping synth/guitar/vocal swirls at the finale.

These folks are good at endings. Little Kingdom is out on Dead Oceans. You can see the crew live, too.
