Citizen Cope Reveals New Song “Hours On End” From New Album ‘Heroin And Helicopters’ (3/1, Rainwater Recordings/Thirty Tigers)
Performing At The LA Grammy Museum On February 19th
Today, Citizen Cope reveals new song "Hours on End," a track he told Relix “...explores the realization that we’re living in a time of argument and discontent.” "Hours On End" is just the latest taste from Citizen Cope's upcoming album 'Heroin & Helicopters' (3/1, Rainwater Recordings/Thirty Tigers), his first in over 7 years.

In Cope’s own words, the song “speaks to the all too common theme of a broken family and the desperation to salvage something sacred in the midst of chaos."
“Hours On End” is the third offering from ‘Heroin And Helicopters,’ an album which sees the artist tackle themes of religion, political manipulation, hollowness in the entertainment world, and spiritual enlightenment, as Cope contends with his own role in those societal institutions.
On February 19th, Citizen Cope will host an intimate evening at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles. The evening will feature a live performance, moderated conversation, and audience Q&A. More information and tickets can be found here: https://www.grammymuseum.org/events/detail/citizen-cope
Early praise for ‘Heroin And Helicopters’ has come from Billboard who called the new music "personal and poignant," as well as NPR Music who said lead single “Justice” “swaggers with a head-nodding groove and contains a yearning and soulful message of optimism and positivity.”
Cope will tour extensively with a full band for the first time in years in support of 'Heroin and Helicopters’, making stops at The Beacon Theatre in New York City, The Novo in Los Angeles, and more. Full tour routing below.
