The New Year-The End is Near (2004)
Posted in Slowcore on Apr 30th, 2009 No Comments »
After emo seemingly ruined the syncricity of intelligence and despair, The New Year writes a melancholy album without sounding grating or whiny. The trick seems to be eschewing contrived, operatic swells, focusing on thought rather than feeling. This lack of pretense has always been the Kadane brothers’ strength, and their lyrics and music have always created indelible miniatures rather than panoramas.
