Music

I finally bought some new music this week, after a long drought of nothing new except a smattering of downloads.

First up, The End is Near from The New Year. The Kadane brothers are fantastic songwriters, a few other bands can create such beautiful music. This is a better release than Newness Ends, in part because they’ve come back around to the chime-y guitars and big sound of the Bedhead days.

Next up is Ghosts of Tables and Chairs from Citizens Here and Abroad. I just stumbled upon these guys last week, and liked them enough to buy their album. It’s easy to compare them to Death Cab for Cutie’s more upbeat moments, or even perhaps Built To Spill’s poppier moments, but they keep things moody in their own little way.
