Product Description

CD Description

Brothers Matt and Bubba Kadane never promised a huge departure when they transitioned from Bedhead to the New Year in 1999. As NEWNESS ENDS picked up where the former band's TRANSACTION DE NOVO left off, so this record subtly expounds upon2004's THE END IS NEAR's musical advances. That previous sweet Bedhead bleak streak is still in evidence on "My Neighborhood," but other songs like "The Company I Can Get" and "X Off Days" are slicker, brighter affairs. That half the songswere written on piano might help account for some of the changes in tone, which is most noticeable on the straight-up piano ballads, "MMV" and "Body & Soul." Lyrically, the New Year remain glum, but their willingness to widen their sound evokes the opposite, which is hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Broader reach, core intact, 26 April 2009
By Matthew Kirkcaldie - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Slicker? Brighter? Not to these ears. The self-title album is a stretch for fans expecting a straight-line progression from the two preceding New Year albums, or indeed the Bedhead catalogue. Instead the Kadanes add prominent piano and other instrumentation to the tracks on this album, and at first listen it sounds like a departure from their usual work. Over time, as your prejudices fade, these songs reveal themselves as some of the best examples of those things we love about TNY and Bedhead: dense, twining instrumental lines; biting, ringing guitars; driving, measured rhythms; and wry, deadpan observation of daily life. The best New Year yet, and equal to the very best of Bedhead's stellar output. Buy without hesitation, but put the time in to listen.
