About this product

With their fifth studio album, Fairytales and Other Forms of Suicide, The Old Ceremony continues to explore the cinematic textures and song-craft that have become their unique calling card. More than any of their past recordings, Fairytales coheres around a central theme Of awakening to the world as it is and learning to see the beauty in it's harshness. Meditations on love ('Fairytales and Other Forms of Suicide, The Royal We, Day That I Was Born,'), politics ('Sink or Swim'), and scientific progress ('Star by Star') all return to this central theme. Over their career The Old Ceremony has forged their own distinctive sound. It is the sound of seeking For new textures, for hidden corners of experience, for a flash of truth in an otherwise confusing world.

The Old Ceremony - Sprinter - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Not Yet Reviewed

The Old Ceremony returns with their new album, Sprinter, a rich, haunting collection of southern gothic pop. Lead track InchMagic HourInch combines a noir melody with earworm lyrics that will come to you in your sleep. Produced by Mitch Easter (Let's Active) with arrangement help from Chris Stamey (dB's) and a shining guest appearance from R. E. M. 's Mike Mills, this record proves that it takes a village, or more specifically a humid southern town to make a classic album. Sprinter's direction reflects Haskins' recent experiences as a featured performer in an acclaimed series of live concert performances of Big Star's classic album Sister Lovers (aka Third), with a rotating all-star cast that's included Easter, Mills, Stamey and Big Star's Jody Stephens. Resisting preconceived genre pigeonholes, The Old Ceremony draws freely from a boundless wellspring of stylistic influences to create music that's unique and personal. Frontman/songwriter Haskins' richly detailed lyrics paint complex, intimate character sketches, while the band employs a wide palette of instrumental textures to construct cinematic chamber-pop soundscapes that are both emotionally evocative and effortlessly catchy.
