Mobile Estates is the second album by Citizen King, released in 1999. It was the band's first album for a major label. Production The album was produced by Dave Cooley, Matt Sims, and Eric Valentine. 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." 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." The San Antonio Express-News called the album "a tuneful, low-fi and quirky major-label debut." Track listing All songs written by Matt Sims and Dave Cooley, except where noted.
