Biography
Formed in London back in 1982, Citizen Cain began when Gordon Feenie and Cyrus, who had previously collaborated in Not Quite Red Fox, chose to assemble a fresh project and brought Tim Taylor into the fold. Operating strictly as a trio, the band continued until its dissolution in 1988. A new incarnation surfaced in 1990, now featuring Cyrus alongside Frank Kennedy, Stewart Bell, Dave Elam, and Chris Colvin. The following year they laid down both a demo and their debut full-length, Serpents in Camouflage. Even during those sessions internal tensions surfaced, prompting wholesale personnel shifts the next year that replaced the drummer, guitarist, and bassist and left the group essentially reconstituted. Their sophomore effort, Somewhere but Yesterday, appeared in 1994. By the time work began on the subsequent album the roster had shrunk to just two members, and Raising the Stones did not reach stores until 1997. Ahead of that release, the 1996 compilation Ghost Dance collected earlier recordings.
