Stream Celebration's The Modern Tribe

Download: Celebration - "Pressure"
Download: Celebration - "Heartbreak"

Over at their MySpace Page. We've posted two of what we consider the better tracks from The Modern Tribe, Celebration's second album - "Heartbreak" and "Pressure". Both successfully dabble in TV On The Radio's otherworldly soul psychedelia, which is not surprising if you consider the fact that Dave Sitek produced it.

However, a first listen doesn't reveal whether or not Celebration are adeptly riding the sonic coattails of that band or using Radio's blueprint as a jumping-off point for their own template.

Judge for yourself when The Modern Tribe is released next Tuesday on 4AD.

New Video: Celebration - "Evergreen"

Download: Celebration - "Evergreen"

We've written about Celebration before, so we are naturally excited by this. It is a video for their song "Evergreen." The video is a little too fantastical for me, but I like the song anyway. Thanks to Idolator for the tip.

Celebration play the 7th Entry on Nov. 21st.

Celebration - "Evergreen"

Download: Celebration - "Evergreen"

With a new album coming out in October on 4AD, Celebration seems poised for success. The crew just released "Evergreen" as a pseudo-single to garner interest and it certainly got mine. The song itself is relatively straightforward and plays up lead singer Katrina Ford's awesome swagger, however, the cool-factor comes from the interesting production that is reminiscent of both Spiders from Mars era Bowie, as well as modern Of Montreal. Pretty cool.
