What the label says:

Celebration present an album of sublime colours, rich textures and glorious, ascending melody.Celebration’s self-titled debut album, released at the end of 2005, was a blast of white hot, ecstatic energy – raw, exhilarating and furiously focused.    The band – a Baltimore-based three piece comprised of Katrina Ford (vocals), David Bergander (drums) and Sean Antanaitis (everything else) - have spent most of the last two years on the road, touring with the likes of TV On The Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Blood Brothers. In the process, they have refined their sound and their songwriting into something more nuanced and more kaleidoscopic.‘The Modern Tribe’ is the result – and if tracks like ‘Pony’ and ‘Fly The Fly’ have the dense groove and full-throated impact of past classics like ‘War’ and ‘Foxes’, they’re balanced by the swooning swirl of ‘Evergreen’, the heady gospel of ‘Heartbreak’ and the cosmic, chanted ‘Tame The Savage’. It’s a development that has to be heard to be believed, and one that establishes Celebration as one of the most distinctive bands at work in the world today.‘The Modern Tribe’ was recorded at Stay Gold studios in Brooklyn with David Sitek (TV On The Radio) at the helm and Chris Coady engineering – and it’s graced by guest appearances from Celebration’s own tribe of friends and fans. The album will be supported by a series of remixes courtesy of Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Blood Brothers, Simian Mobile Disco and others.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
