Free Music Notes for Cease to Begin
Free Music Review: eyes cannot look at them any other way...
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a longtime follower of BOH, and immediately fell in love with Everything all the Time, however with their latest release, they have opened another chapter in their musical journey. And from what I hear, I'm definitely on for the ride. CTB has generally more of an upbeat sound throughout. Not as gloomy as EATT, but with the same haunting vocals. There is no "funeral" on this album but they took "the great salt lake" and elaborated on its sound. I wouldn't compare this album to their last, or compare this band with any others, but it is a definite buy.
My favorite tracks: "no ones gonna love you" "general specific" "cigarettes wedding bands"
Cease to Begin Poster
Japanese enhanced pressing of their 2007 sophomore album featuring three bonus live audio tracks plus an enhanced video for 'Is There A Ghost'. Cease to Begin is the perfect title for this record. Not only do the songs themselves weave this theme through the record, but stopping and starting anew is also a reflection of the past year and a half for Band of Horses. Though they worked with producer Phil Ek again, as they did on their debut Everything All the Time, much has changed between the fairly recent then and now. For core members Ben Bridwell, Rob Hampton and Creighton Barrett, there has been a move from Seattle, WA to Mt. Pleasant, SC, a relocation that had been planned for some time so that they could all be closer to their families. And, close friends and family have come and gone some far too early. Necessarily shot through with these experiences, the songs on Cease to Begin are strikingly beautiful, if less elliptical and more straightforward, with more sophisticated arrangements than the last record. Tear Bridge Records. 2008.Band of Horses now rest in the hands of South Carolina tenant Ben Bridwell following the departure of his right-hand man Mat Brooke, who bolted to form Grand Archives following the 2006 inauguration Everything All the Time, and the impassioned Bridwell validates out of the blocks, leading off the follow-up album with "Is There a Ghost," an exquisite chunk of pure-pop bliss. With a voice that lands somewhere between the euphoria of Brian Wilson and the anguish of the late Chris Bell (Big Star), Bridwell (and core mates Rob Hampton and Creighton Barrett) appears a modern archetype behind a playlist that teeters among tender ("No One's Gonna Love Me," "Window Blues"), twang ("Marry Song," "Detlef Schrempf"), and turbulent ("Cigarettes, Wedding Bands," the aforementioned "Is There a Ghost"). Using the same producer and regal m.o. as on the debut, Cease punctuates its magnitude among Sub Pop's top-drawer power elite (The Shins and Iron & Wine), asserting this Band of Horses' fast-rising run for the roses. --Scott Holter
