Over the last seventeen years, in the 1990s with Bedhead and for the
last decade with The New Year, Matt and Bubba Kadane have done all they
could to avoid feeling rushed in making a record. Records need time to
be coherent, and coherence -- even thin thematic coherence -- is what
makes records worth more than a mere collection of songs.
The most recent payoff of this approach is The New Year's newest
self-titled release, the culmination of four years of song-writing and a
year of recording. Lyrically, these ten songs address the interlocked
themes of lost time, frustrated desire, and the need for others.
Although musically these may be the band's most varied songs -- for a
band that made innovative use of three guitars, almost half the songs
here are built around the piano -- it is the careful sequence of these
songs that brings the story the lyrics tell together. Even the lack of a
record title seems deliberate in suggesting that this is the culmination
of everything this band has tried to achieve.
The New Year will be touring the US and Europe as a full band this fall.
