The Old Ceremony: The Old Ceremony

Album Review of:
The Old Ceremony's album:
The Old Ceremony

Track List

1. Shadows 2. American Romeo 3. Ole 4. Pennsylvania 5. Carry the One 6. Out of the Blue. 7. Morning Glories 8. You Left Something Out 9. God Said I Could Have You 10. Late Shift 11. Blood and Oil 12. The Motions

Oh where to start, where to start. The Old Ceremony's self titled album is an absolutely stunning debut album. You couldn't ask for a better debut album. I really hope Old 86's debut album is as good as this one because if it is we have already gotten one of the hardest challenges of the music industry out of the way; getting people to listen. This album includes all of The Old Ceremony's range of sounds including "Pop Noir," rock, and jazz. With catchy tunes and guitar riffs, the amazing forms and lyrics of Django Haskins, the feel you get when you hear that Toccata organ through their rotary speaker, not to mention the highly original guitar solos and of course, the vibraphone! Every note or beat Django, Matt, Josh, Mark, Dan, or Gabrielle make has a profoundly positive effect on the music. Even if you're are really into the vibes on Ole, just listen to everything together for a second and you will hear everything come together in an amazingly complimentary rush of musical bliss, with the twist of a flanger on it also.
Overall an absolutely amazing album that has me really, really craving the third album, which is slated to come out at a Septemberish time.
