   .. About This Release .......................................

   :                                                           :

   :  This "Korean Special Edition" cd of the Czar's           :

   :  "Before...But Longer" includes 3 bonus tracks.           :

   :                                                           :

   :  Allmusic.com gave this album 4 1/2 stars...              :

   :                                                           :

   :  The Czars' debut full-length release on Robin Guthrie    :

   :  and Simon Raymonde's (of the Coceteau Twins) Bella       :

   :  Union imprint is a stunning, rocking electro-folk album  :

   :  of controlled restraint. Vocalist and chief songwriter   :

   :  John Grant's emotional lyrics and singing style evoke a  :

   :  dark, poetic imagery throughout the album's 11 tracks.   :

   :  One of the standout tracks is "Val," where Grant sings   :

   :  a brittle, deep-throated ode to emptiness. With Paula    :

   :  Frazer, of Tarnation, providing backup vocals against    :

   :  Grant's commanding inflections, the album burns slowly   :

   :  through track and after track of percolating electronic  :

   :  sound foundations. "Gangrene" brings to mind a less      :

   :  gruff Mark Lanegan track, as it picks up steam toward a  :

   :  finale of intense guitar play. "Get Used to It" is an    :

   :  enjoyably sarcastic song detailing a personal worldview  :

   :  that leads to depression; it exudes a charming           :

   :  catchiness. Late into the song, Frazer's vocals bring    :

   :  to mind Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to Once Upon a      :

   :  Time in the West. "Dave's Dream" is a pretty, calming    :

   :  number, followed immediately by "What I Can Do For       :

   :  You," a song which seems too catchy on first listen,     :

   :  before becoming an absolute joy afterwards.              :

   :  "Zippermouth" takes a more aggressive tone, with Grant   :

   :  becoming downright angry about a boring relationship,    :

   :  while the rest of the band gets into a dark groove;      :

   :  despite the harsh tone, Grant eventually expands his     :

   :  vocals into a lilting falsetto, giving the song the      :

   :  needed contrast to validate its placement on the album.  :

   :  It is not hyperbole to suggest that Before...But Longer  :

   :  is the sort of album that demands repeat listens;        :

   :  indeed, it becomes hard to listen to anything else.      :

   :  Since the album is remarkably subtle, its charms are     :

   :  virtually impossible to ignore. The Czars astound again  :

   :  and again on this album.                                 :
