The New Year: The New Year (2008)

All of the records from this band share the same minimalist cover design. It's not unlike the cover design used in Bedhead, the previous musical outfit from the brothers. I don't really know too much about Bedhead, to be honest.
Anyone who has followed the Kadane brothers over the past almost 20 years first as Bedhead, now as the New Year pretty much knows what to expect from a new album released under their guidance. You're guaranteed chord progressions that start off quietly and build and build until the speakers are overflowing with chiming guitars and your heart swells at the restrained majesty of it all. Count too on Matt Kadane's poignant, almost spoken vocals and glum lyrics. Take it to the bank that your listening experience will be emotional and fulfilling. [source]
I like it.
