So Check it, I picked up the Celebration record yesterday at Cake Shop(and a cup cake.) The record is called "The Modern Tribe" and it's on 4ad (some of my favorite records have come out on this label) and it is a perfect record for the fall. I can't help but compare them to Souxsie, with nods to Kate Bush, and Elizabeth Frasier/Cocteau Twins. Modern Tribe was produced by David Sitek of TV on the Radio and it has a bit of that bands flavor as well. It also has guest appearances from TVOR members Kyp Malone, Jaleel Bunton, and Tunde Adebimpe as well as YYY's Nick Zinner. But lets not put the focus on minor guest appearances, this album could stand alone with or without them, just on the strength of Celebration's song writing. Gang Gang Dance and Apollo Heights are in the same ring with Celebration as far as bands as of late, that seem to have the same 80's ethereal female fronted semi-goth(Cocteau Twins, Souxsie and the Banshees, Kate Bush, Sinead O'Conner) record collections. Here is the vid for Celebration's "Evergreen." LUVIT!
