Their music is an amazing nexus where surgical precision, ace musicianship, and thrifty minimalism intertwine joyously.

Alternative PressDelivers huge hooks, metronomic riffs and driving drumbeats, all of which enhance the Kadanes' amplified whispers. [Aug 2004, p.108]
-
The WireThe Kadanes have created a collection of songs of which they can be proud. [#246, p.62]

The End is Near employs much of fans found so pleasant about Bedhead, particularly the impressive build-up of two and three bar melodies.
