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 CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
