Apr 28, 2017There really isn’t room to talk about a lot of things--each subject they approach is weighty and broad enough on its own--but on Snow, The New Year takes those dark, hidden feelings and makes them joyous.
-
May 16, 2017Heavy and heartbreaking, teeming with a warm, analog energy, Snow looks backward at each defining element that made the band so memorable to begin with. But like many of the best moments, maybe you just had to be there.
-
Apr 28, 2017Taken without context, Snow is a gorgeous collection of slow-burning, neatly groomed songs and perspectives, always introspective but never without joy. When viewed as another chapter in the ongoing lineage of the Kadane brothers, it takes on a deeper gravity.
-
Aug 31, 2017Instead of dramatic tempo shifts or sing-along choruses, the songs rely on subtle texture and tempo changes that, in context, wind up carrying far more weight than they would in another setting.
-
Apr 28, 2017There’s a moment in virtually every song where a single loose strand seems to break free and float skyward and it’s there, in the languid sway, where Snow truly takes hold.
-
Apr 28, 2017It’s a consistently, gorgeously understated record.
-
Apr 28, 2017It’s unmistakably a New Year album, and a decent one at that, but it doesn’t do much to distinguish itself.
