.. About This Release .......................................
: Lame 3.90.3 --alt preset cbr 192 :
: This is the American version of Clearlake's Cedar album :
: that contains the bonus track "We All Die Alone." If :
: you downloaded Clearlake_-_Cedars-Promo-2003-CMG way :
: back when, you'll want to replace that rip because even :
: though it was great to get that rip so early, it was :
: full of pops. :
: :
: ------------------- :
: AMG REVIEW: Clearlake hooked up with ex-Cocteau Twins :
: bass player Simon Raymonde to produce their :
: long-awaited sophomore effort, Cedars. They want to :
: brighten things up a bit and Cedars aims to uncap the :
: overcast shadows of their native England, but that :
: doesn't mean it's a happy occasion throughout. Vocalist :
: Jason Pegg sifts through emotions of loss, self-hatred, :
: and insanity, and while that may go against Cedars' :
: lush instrumentation, feelings of optimism glows :
: underneath all its darkness for a beautifully :
: therapeutic set of songs. They've added a bit of :
: sparkle and edge to what they did with Lido and :
: nostalgia has never sounded so good. A thick :
: psychedelic mess of guitars and percussion rebounds off :
: flimsy string arrangements for Clearlake's overall :
: gauzy pop sound. "Come into the Darkness" and "The Mind :
: Is Evil" bounce and flow according to Pegg's humorsome :
: disposition. As musicians, Clearlake designs an :
: abstract portrait on Cedars. It's not as cheeky as Pulp :
: and not nearly as abrasive as British Sea Power; :
: however, Clearlake is equally provocative. They keep :
: production simple in order to make room for each :
: instrument to flourish, and such a move allows Cedars :
: to experience such varying emotions. Raymonde's touch :
: alone has given Clearlake the confidence to derive :
: their own dynamic guitar pop and Cedars basks in its :
: divine Brit-pop qualities. As much as it is dramatic, :
: Cedars isn't a tough, cohesive album and that's okay. :
: When you have a band as honest as Clearlake, words :
: speak for themselves. :
