Mobile Estates is the second and final album by Citizen King, released in 1999.[6][7] It was the band's only album for a major label.[8]
The album was produced by Dave Cooley, Matt Sims, and Eric Valentine.[9]
Critical reception
The Washington Post wrote that "even at Citizen King's most engagingly relaxed ('Jalopy Style', 'Long Walk Home'), the band just sounds like the Red Hot Beastie Spin Doctors."[10] Rolling Stone thought that "if a finer vintage—say, Beck circa 1998—is unavailable, Citizen King are just dope and dopey enough to feed your faux funk habit."[11] The San Antonio Express-News called the album "a tuneful, low-fi and quirky major-label debut."[12]
