the kadane bros’ new year
the bros kadanes, matt and bubba, made up the seminal indie rock band bedhead, which were responsibile in my opinion, for three of the best and most grossly underrated records to come out of the 90’s, what fun life was, self titled and transaction de novo. bedhead had penchant for building music rather than songs. still their songs were slow burns bustling with feeling, that were often epic in nature. the kadanes brokeup bedhead sometime in 99, and went on to form the new year a little bit later. i’ll be honest, i was not aware of the new year up until about a month ago. they just fell off my radar, somehow.
where bedhead could be a bit cold and calculated, the new year seems much more like a living and breathing entity. the music is much more relaxed and not out to set the world a blaze, which gives the songs more room to move. the only thing that hasnt changed is matt kadane’s kind of not singing delivery, which most people either dig or run for the hills. i, of course, fall in the former camp and i am now off to track down the first two new years records, newness ends and the end is near.
the new year’s self titled release is out now. they’re also on tour now, so hit up their site for all the details.
