Matt and Bubba Kadane’s previous band Bedhead had their career feted with a comprehensive box set and the brothers joined with David Bazan and Will Johnson in the band Overseas and put out an album in 2013. Through it all, they kept working on another New Year album, polishing demos into full-fledged songs, refining and reworking lyrics, basically taking their time and to get it right. The “it” in this case being crystal-clear indie rock, built around twining guitars, steady rhythms and Matt Kadane’s near-whispered vocals. If you remember Bedhead, you’ll get it. If you were smart enough to follow the Kadanes to the New Year, you’ll get it even more. If you’ve never heard either band, well… it’s not too late to discover one of the best bands to ever pick up guitars and quietly build an impressive, monumentally intimate career out of a few chords, lots of space and an innate sense of what makes a song work. Recorded off and on in between jobs, lives and responsibilities and at at a variety of locales, like Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio, the Echo Lab in Denton and at houses in Texas, New York and California, the fourth album by the New Year may have taken a long time to make, but it only takes one spin for it to sink deep into the listener’s heart and mind. Snow utilizes many of the same aspects that made Bedhead so great, like playing the space between notes, wrapping the guitars around each other like overgrown vines and parking the song’s tempos in the sweet spot between peacefully somnambulant and oddly uplifting. It also retains all the upgrades (keyboards, trickier arrangements and more diverse rhythms courtesy of drummer Chris Brokaw) that made the three New Year albums such an impressive body of work. This time out, the band, which also includes bassist Mike Donofrio, takes the sonic renovations a step further, building on the expansive foundations of their self-titled 2008 album and making their fourth album their best-sounding, most highly arranged and most emotional record yet. With songs that charge ahead in almost rocking fashion (“Recent History”) and ballads that gently ramble (“Dead and Alive”), space filled epics that rise and fall like ocean waves on a stormy night (“Myths”) and hypnotic meditative jams (“The Beast”) that unspool like heroic tales as the guitars weave together and form into walls of heartbreaking sound. All things they’ve done before, true, but all things that they do with the utmost skill and the occasional burst of beauty. New this time out is the appearance on a few tracks of some very smooth electric piano playing, especially on the glacially-paced, nearly too pristine to touch title track.
